Thread: Master Cylinder?

DennyW, if you mean the dimension diagram for the Model-A Sport Coupe, YES, please send it to me because I want to make the rumble-seat gas tank as close to the original rumble seat as possible. Please send it to me by e-mail and I will appreciate it very much. I have spent most of my holiday weekend making a cardboard mockup of the tank. It certainly is true that it is better to make a mockup than to just draw what you think you want or need. I must have made ten different modifications once I tried to fit the mockup into the space and in particular I had to downsize it a bit to only 13.8 gallons but that should be enough to make it to Va Beach and back on a weekend if I can get about 20 mpg with the R700 OD. Thanks for the armor plate idea, I have bolted in a 4" wide 1/4" steel bar across the back framework of 1" square tubing in the fiberglass body just behind the gas tank with a 2" clear space between the bar and the tank and it does all tuck in with the deck lid in the rumble position. I will send it to Rock Valley to make up a stainless steel version of the tank and it won't be cheap but at least it will clear the bumps in my rough driveway. Thanks for the suggestion. I have left room for foam padding and vinyl covering so the dimensions of the seat will be useful, particularly the thickness of the back rest and the height of the seat at the back. I have left room for up to a 4" wedge of foam down in the lumbar area in the back of the seat but I need to know the approximate slope of the seat bottom.
