New to the group and first post. I've been looking at JH's for a couple years now. First rode in one in high school in the 70's and never forgot it, it was quite the wild ride!
Edit: my car is 16058 - Yellow
I picked up a 74 JH out of Tulsa, previously Iowa this week and brought it home. The brakes are inop and there was no brake fluid in the reservoir. This surprised the widow I bought it from as she had been driving it up until this year. From what I've read that means a new MC. I contacted Delta MS and bought a MC, some brake lines, cam cover gaskets, o-rings, cam belt and tensioner bearings to fix the brakes and an oil leak and get her road worthy again. Jeff at Delta didn't seem to think I would need to replace the brake booster even though it seems the brake fluid has leaked from the MC into the booster (no fluid on the floor or under the bonnet). How do I get the brake fluid out of the booster? Do I have to remove it (read that to do that I need to pull the pedal cluster)?
TIA,
Tom
