I haven't been able to log on to either Ken Cates page or the Backus swaps manual. Is there a NAPA or Autozone (or other common parts store) part number for a master cylinder that fits a stepdown?
Thanks
Ed

    NAPA 3081, from the Backus book.

    Contact Norm Blackmer in the CIC chapter, or the WTN, as he handles new cylinders, wheel, master and hoses. Keep the business in the club. Walt.

    Park, That's an old number. The new NAPA number is 2796. :)

    'zilla, thanks for that new number. I realize the Backus book has a lot of outdated ones, but sometimes it's a useful start. But are you sure that's a stepdown master cylinder? Kind of a strange coincidence, as the Backus book shows NAPA/United 2796 as the master cyl for the Jets.

    Park,

    Bought a new master cylinder from NAPA for our 54 Hornet in April.

    Part #3081 was a direct replacement, no issues what so ever.

    Hope this helps.

    This time I opened the 53 parts book instead of the 48-52, your right, of course. Hard to find a 52 Jet.

    I was'nt being critical, I've found mistakes and omissions in the Hudson books. This 48-54 book was put together after the merger . And it's awful in that respect.
    And I never have quite understood how some numbers cast into parts don't show up anywhere.

    The 2796 number will fit the Jet series, and I don't believe it will be a perfect fit on the full size step down chassis

    Thanks for all the information. It turns out it was a brake hose not the master cylinder. The dripping I saw on the master cylinder was overflow from filling it.
