>> Hi JR
>> Are these an "Add on Unit"?
>> In the 61 it takes a uniques master cylinder with a flat top because it 
>> is so close to the floorboards.  Is "The Source"
>> the only place that sells it?  Thanks for the suggestion.

>>> Almost went to Corvair Heaven the other day.  All of a sudden the pedal

>>> Discovered that my front driver side tire had, over time, worn a hole in 
>>> the hose.
>>> So, how does one keep the hose from rubbing?  One hose is longer than 
>>> the other.  Which hose goes on the driver side?
>>> Is there a clamp attached to the hose to keep it away fron the tire and 
>>> if so where does it attach to the body?  My master cylinder drained dry 
>>> as a result.  Should I replace it too? Thanks for the help.
