I got a y and cat a couple of years ago. And the rear Y flange was a bit off at an angle. If I tried to bend it over it would cause an alignment issue. The problem is I got it to work and seal up. But that extra angle is blowing the gasket up over time. I have put three gaskets in it now. I even...

Yep and it fit perfectly. It did not come with the threaded plugs for bench bleeding. I picked up a universal kit from NAPA for ten bucks. It had the plugs with nipples to run hose the hose into the reservoir. So it’s a one step bleed process.

Repair follow up: Because nothing sux worse than an open ended repair threads. But it was 💯 the master cylinder. I now have the strongest brakes outta all seven 80s I have owned over the years. I thought my other 95 80 had some good brakes. With the new master it also feels more level under...

RockAuto had aisen/adic for $58

I pretty sure if you can get the parts. And not sure what the seal design is. It could be different than just a oring

Where did you get your aisen master cylinder from?

Booster was changed about two years ago. The master cylinder has 322,000 miles of pumping. I’m thinking it’s the master cylinder. I can make it fail every time by very slowly depressing the pedal. It works fine if applied with any sort of quickness. I may try flushing with new fluid first for...

Keep thinking out loud I’m outta of thoughts and am about to throw a master cylinder at it

Yeah I just went ahead and freshened them all up while I was at it. I ordered some of the formed hoses that I had replaced with bulk stuff a while back

I have an extremely odd brake issue. It started out a couple of times when I went to hit the brakes it went to floor with little resistance and zero stopping. I quickly pumped the pedal and had full strong braking. As you can imagine this was quite alarming. I checked everything I could and...

Holy Crap!! Thank you for letting me know. I have done business with him for many years. But that was also several years ago. He really did quality work. But I have been absent from this forum for a few years now. Despite still owning two 80s that are daily drivers for the wife and me.and I had...

Here’s a link for the 60/62 series https://absolute-wits-end.com/60-series-windshield-wiper-motor-grommet/

It’s the one the wiper arm goes into on the linkage. It’s made out of a white plastic. WitsEnd made some out of much better Derlin for the 60 guys. The factory ones wear out. The one for appears to be similar. Even with my laser eyes it’s still tough to differentiate a few thousandths. But I...

Anyone know where I can get some? I know WitsEnd has some for the 60 Series. But not sure if they are the same

Don’t have any plans to head up there soon. But if I do I will let you know. I’m about 2.5-3 hours away depending on where he is. Thinking of selling my wife’s 95 80. And getting a 100 for her and as a family trip car. So I will be on the hunt for some Tundra Steelies now
