"Little (blood) Red" Gets Her Own Thread (Too)

[LocuMob]

I remember you addressing the source of McNeedy previously but somehow never realized you were also a "Mike".

I thought it was John.

The shop has their own resources for rebuilds and parts...I used a different resource last year for Big Red in Illinois that the name escapes me at the moment...I will look at my receipts and get back to you. ***I used Rare Parts for an Idler Arm rebuild...somehow I remember that...

Thanks, I am always looking for a source, I found the polished look quite appealling.

 

[DocMcNeedy]

Mike, where did you source the booster?

Let me find out from shop on this one...I used Midwest for first Imperial. Took a picture of the screen for Stan. He hates that.

 

[DocMcNeedy]

Midwest booster came back high gloss black finish. I have picture somewhere I'll dig up.

The shop just told me they got the coupe booster rebuilt here:

That is great. I had my master cylinder rebuilt for my 75 Imperial. It is unique as it had two equal size reservoirs because of the rear disc brakes. I had a guy in Ontario Canada do the work. He resleeved the master with stainless steel.

Thank you!
I have to keep this in my mind. I`ve never earlier heard about Midwest Power Products, inc.

We're sending out ps pump as only new one left lost during shipping from Connecticut. Apparently last one on NAPA shelf...using this resource per Murray's recommendation. 2 weeks to get back the rebuilt pump.

 

[DocMcNeedy]

for historical purposes and other members who need a resource..I'm using this company to rebuild power steering pump for 72 Imp coupe.

Im ready for the videos, time to give your pups a ride

Does your family enjoy them as much as you do?

Won't be long now. Might have her back by first week in October.

 

[DocMcNeedy]

Little Red and Big Red spent a little time on the pad today. Ordered up the steering box and I will do the same on the pump as the box is dumping fluid nicely on my driveway. Might as well upgrade both. I wanted a high end box... But, they're not presently in stock...so just to get the leak stopped going with a Master Pro.

If I get her back real soon I will have 3 out of 5 at the house...really freak out the neighbors before Big Red goes into storage mid October.

More work done. Won't be long before she's back home. Think the shop is gonna Gunk or degrease the engine/engine bay before coming home, too.
