Re: [Chrysler300] 1958 Chrysler 300D Master Brake Cylinder

[c300c@xxxxxxx]

To John, Keith, Larry and other members,
 
I have owned 4 300-Cs,  the first one in 1962. All had the brake light  
switch mounted on the front of the MC. The rubber hose is attached to the 
bottom  and to the steel line. Only one of my early Mopars, a 1957 Dodge, had  
the switch at the bottom of the MC and a steel line from the front down to  
the junction block.

The 1957  300C rubber hose(NAPA PART #27048) from the bottom of the Master
cylinder  is attached to a steel line that screws into the brass junction 
box
on the  frame. The line is easy to remove if you first take it off at the
brass  junction block.

The steel line has some special long fittings, so if  you replace the steel
line be sure to reuse the fittings.

When the  300C came from the factory, the rubber hose screwed directly into
the  master cylinder. Upon replacing the original master cylinder,  the
replacement came with a brass fitting which added about 3/8 inch to  the
overall length of the complete line. If you are replacing the steel  line, 
it
is a good idea to shorted it so there is not such a twist (bend)in  the
rubber line.

I have been told that the 300D only has a steel  line and no rubber line.

Well, if you go to page 5-1 of the  '55-'58 parts book you'll see three 
different drawings of master cylinder  applications.  Each one of them 
indicates the front location of the  switch, with the brake line exiting 
the bottom.  And I remember my C  switch being on the front back in 1962.

The hose NAPA offers must be  the one running down from the master to the 
brake tube tee.  The  steel tube on that D doesn't sound right.
