Hello,
I'm well on the way getting the 52 back together, most of the interior, dash, wiring etc are done, I have the engine and powerglide to assemble and finish detailing (I'm a motor mechanic and this part is easy for me). I'm fitting engine and trans before I fit up the front end.
I went to assemble the master cylinder and found the rear plug is too big.
I got a 53/54 master cylinder (7/8 bore instead of the one inch of the 52, for improved pedal pressure) and sent it out for a stainless-steel sleeve and they lost the rear plug.
So, I need the threaded plug out of the back of the master cylinder from a 53 0r 54 (7/8 bore) if anybody could help. Any condition is fine and I'm happy to pay all expenses.
The car has to be going for beach Hop by the end of March, any help will be appreciated,
Ian.

Congrats for nearing completion. Be sure to share pictures when you are done!

To be clear, you need part number 12 in this picture? There is also a fitting that screws into part #12 in that picture for the brake lines.

I'll look around and see if I have one.

Thanks for that drtyler,
Yes, it is number 12 only.
Great if you could find one, I don't want to get held up with some little thing like this.
Thanks,
Ian.

Send a Private Topic to STEFAKI if drtyler can't help. He has a bunch of stuff.
OR get the appropriate 78 bolt and drill and tap the wiring hole

I checked my spare master cylinder, and that plug was not installed. I'll keep looking. You may want to contact STEFAKI as suggested by Dean50.
