Guest rustnstuff Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I just purchased a 1936 Lincoln Zephyr and today lost my brakes, think it needs fluid but cannot find master cylinder, looked under carpet on drivers side floor, nothing. Can anyone help? John in Tucson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstyle Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I don't think you have a master cylinder. My 37 has mechanical brakes. System uses cables not fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry butcher Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 All Zephyrs until '39 used mechanicl brakes,cables ;not rods. Ford,Lincoln, and Mercury went to "juice brakes' in '39. That is except the big "K" Lincoln. Jack it up get under(with jackstands) and check it out. Better yet, put it up on a lift. "juice "brakes can go out all at once, mechanical will not unless something is blocking the linkage. What shape is the car in ?Was it sitting outside in the weather? Any more questions ask them, and if not already a member; join The Lincol Zephyr Owners club.. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
