Showing items 1 - 4 of 4 results.
On these older units sometimes I have to rebuild the existing parts using rebuild kits from Napa.

I doubt a 40 yr old unit will take dot5...will more than likely be just dot 3/4...but best bet it to find someone with a service manual to double check

At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
