No, that is just the gasket for the master cylinder to the backing plate. The part I made is to hold the dust boot against the flange of the master cylinder. The boot is to prevent debris from getting in the hole. The older style used to have a metal plate that was held on with 2 screws.
When I first restored the Coronet I used the two-bolt m/c but that design must be for non-power brakes only because it wouldn't work with the power booster. Finally got a m/c from Ram Man like the one you're running and brakes have been good since.
That's odd. The cylinder I have with the bolt holes came from TheRamMan also. I thought he told me it was for power or manual disc/drum cars. I can't confirm that though as I used one on a manual brake car.
The first one was from O'Reillys, not to disparage them. More of me being out of the Mopar game for 25+ years and still getting reacquainted. The bolt heads interfered with the face of the booster, which threw off my piston rod depth calculations, which in turn created hydraulic lock on the rear brakes. Wayne's videos got me untracked.
Decided to go with the new 3.23's. Thinking I should be ok with the torque my motor is putting out.
Me too. Hoping when the snow is gone at the end of April, it will be ready for some test drives.
I think that the $4000 lift was about the best money I spent for messing around with these old cars. Makes so many things soooo much easier.Says the man with a nice garage and a car lift.
I wish I had ceiling height to add one to my garage.
