Machinist wanted?
 

Is anyone out there looking for work to do in their machine shop? I looked on the HAMBodex, but didn't see any machinists posted. I have in mind a small brass brake line fitting. Thanks!

A couple of weeks ago, I started a thread about a new fitting to allow a flex hose run directly from the torque tube to the "T" fitting on the back of a master cylinder for a '32 or AV8. The object is to allow use of a standard FRONT hose to be used here. The fitting would have a 7/16-24 male thread at one end and a 7/16-20 female thread at the other end. I'd be able to provide an engineering drawing. Here's a link:

Got a preliminary part from Charlie- Gotta make an adjustment to one of the threads and all should be good. I took a few pix of what I'm trying to do. I'm installing hydraulics on a '32 with a traditional Ford master cylinder and trying to use as many traditional parts as possible. A problem arose trying to run a hard line to a point on the frame near the torque tube to anchor the one end of the flex hose. There's nothing on a '32 frame for this. Solutions would have been
#1- add a crossmember just for this. NO!
#2- Run a very short hard line and have the fixed end of the short rear flex hose anchored just on this line. I think that's what Richard Lacy does.
#3- Make up a fitting to screw into the master cylinder tee and accept the "wheel cylinder" end of a longer FRONT flex hose.
The picture shows #2 (on the right) and #3 (on the left.)
