Looks amazing! If you weren't keeping it all stock I'd urge you to go with the later master cylinder with the aluminum body and plastic reservoir. They don't rust nor leak, and you don't have to pull the cover off to see if you need to fill them.

Nice job!

Ive been thinking of getting one of these for a vise.

I don’t have room in my small garage/shop for a vise, but every vehicle I have has a hitch.

Thanks Gary, I didn't know there was another option. Can you send me the link to the part?

These black and Decker work mates are super popular in England. Incredibly useful…

I thought about that one before but a lot of times I am doing things that will get crap all over the car. I was also considering making a tree stump vise stand. Sometimes I don't like a bunch of crap flying all over the garage.

Having issues making a spare key for the ignition. The locksmith tried four times already. Going to give it another go today.

I had one of those and sold it. Plastic handles broke easy and would jam. I think Al tried to put one together in Married with Children and it was a disaster too. LOL

I have this one - not quite as many features but it works well. I have a small workbench but found a place to have a small vise.
