This is a used clutch/brake assembly taken out of a 1957 Chevy 2 door Bel-Air Hardtop.  This will fit all the '57 Chevy passenger cars.  This will not fit the '55 and '56 Chevy because they have a slightly different bracket because the bottom of the dash is different.  This one came out of a car that still had all of its glass in it, which kept a lot of the water off of it.  So, the rust is only surface rust and it doesn't have deep rust pits.  It should look good with just a trip through the sandblaster and a coat of either chassis black paint or powder coat.  The threads where the master cylinder mount look good and two of them still have the mounting nuts on them (see picture #4) and the threaded hole in the top where the brace mounts to still looks to have good threads (see picture #7).  The rod for pushing on the master cylinder is still attached (see picture #6) and the clutch rod attachment bracket is still bolted on (see picture #10).    The rubber bushings and bolts that go through the bottom of the dash are still attached, but they are original, so it is probably safe to assume that they are dry rotted and would have to be replaced.  The brake pedal spring still returns the pedal and both pedals still move freely.  This is one of the best one of these I have gotten in a while.  Usually, they come from cars where the windshields have been broken out and they are heavily rusted, but this one is not and even has some of the original yellow over spray on it from the car it came out of. Please contact me if you have any questions and thanks for looking.

A life of Jaguars: a reader's Jaguarography

Sat, 05 Jun 2010

Way back in the early Sixties, my late father had a series of Jaguar saloons. Firstly there was a 1946 1.5 litre which he bought for £12. To me, at 12 years old, this car was magnificent, so much so, that I wrote to Jaguar at Coventry, telling them so, and in return I received three spiral bound brochures (with tissue interleaves) of their current range.

New Mercedes A45 AMG has 105 years of 4WD on its side

Wed, 15 Aug 2012

With the new Mercedes A45 AMG on the horizon – complete with 4WD – Mercedes chart the history of all wheel drive on their vehicles. We tend to think of 4WD road cars as a modern innovation, and certainly very few 4WD road cars hit the road in a mainstream way much before the 1980s (the Jensen FF was hardly mainstream before someone points out that was in the 1960s). But the history of 4WD goes back, certainly in the case of Mercedes, a surprising 105 years when Daimler built the Dernburg-Wagen, a 4WD vehicle that not only got all-wheel drive but all wheel steering too.

The Hamster wrecks his Morgan!

Sun, 09 Aug 2009

Richard Hammond has wrecked his Morgan Aeromax in a prang in Gloucestershire The Hamster was apparently on his way back from a flying lesson (look out for the Hamster and Captain Slow in flying washing machines in the next series of Top Gear, then) when a car braked sharply at a roundabout at Over, in Gloucestershire. The resulting four car shunt – with the Hamster at the back – ended up with much swapping of details, but no injuries. And Hammond came off least worse being at the back.
