[FC] Interesting Development - Brake MC

[Paul M. Steinberg]

My 62 assembly manual shows it with a 2 bolt master cylinder with a cylinder
that has a thumb screw at the top.  It shows a date change of 5-10-62 for the
3824599 Opt. removed..... I checked the 62 parts book and 3824599 is a non
existent part the best that I can tell...... just one more mystery to
solve..... it does show that the new design master cylinder (5462031) was put
into production on 8-13-62 and replaced 5461000 master cylinder.  Probably
more information than you want!!!!!  Paul in CT

  I only have the 61 FC assembly manual but for questions like that you need
  the 62 assembly manual.  Section #5 sheet 3.00 shows that all 61's have the
  4 bolt master cylinder   It does show all production line changes and dates
  of approval.  For instance on 12-30-60 the engine compartment side rail
  baffles were approved for installation.
