Re: IML: 1990 Imperial? Master Cylinder

[alacaria@xxxxxxxxx]

Brad;

The parts store gave me a regular master cylinder, the wrong one. I only 
paid 20.00 for it, which I have to bring back. One Imperial owner stated 
that there was a lifetime recall on the Bendix and in your email you state 
that I can convert it to a standard brake package. Is there anything 
special I need to know to do this?
