Pete Phillips Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 1956-only; need the vertical cylinder that is the reservoir for the brake fluid on a power brake-equipped 1956 Buick. This one is full of pin holes. 1955 is not the same. Any help appreciated. Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 Leonard, TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 1955 on the left; 1956 on the right. Even the diameter is different, so I can't cut one off and weld on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEducation Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I wish you well, those things are horrible. We had a local welder that's good with aluminum patch ours back up. That was fun to watch. I think there's a thread on here somewhere by someone who fab'd one from scratch. If I had it to do again, and didn't have time to fab one, I'd probably try patching it with HTS-2000. Dad has gotten pretty good with that stuff. If there's not enough left to patch, I'd probably cut the top & bottom off the original and weld or braise in a new aluminum tube in the middle with the HTS-2000. If you are game for that option, but can't find the aluminum tube, I've got a local yard that probably has the material in stock. I could go get a piece and mail it off to you.
