Master cylinder arrives and a short drive

The re-sleeved master cylinder was returned from Seattle this week, it seems well done.  The re-installation went well, except initially I re-used the copper washers.  I knew better but was in a hurry, mea culpa.  The clutch connection leaked, I bought new washers from NAPA and now all is well. I read afterwards that you can heat anneal the washers to soften them if you want to re-use them.

Clutch bleeding went well with my mini-vac.  The brakes have been difficult to get right, I still have a soft peddle, no leaks are seen at any of the joints.  The good news here is that the MGA brake light switch from Moss is working. 

I couldn't resist a drive around the neighborhood to check out the clutch and transmission.  Shifting was fine and the speedometer seems to work accurately, up to 30 mph at least.

Master cylinder mounted. It is getting tight in this
corner of the engine bay. Only the flasher left to attach.



Parked outside the garage for the first time in months!!

The original panels are going in nicely, there is some "patina"
related to being 55 years old.
