Subject: [MV] Master-Brake Cylinder Heat Shield
>I recently learned of the heat shield mounted just below the master-brake
>cylinder on the WWII Jeeps. It is intended to protect the brake cylinder
from
>the exhaust line that passes just below.
>
>I got an opportunity to see 4 jeeps this week-end, and not one of them had
this
>shield.
>- First, how important is this shield?
>
>- Does anyone have the dimensions for the plate, its two brackets, and
where
>they attach?
>
>- Looks like it would be very easy to make, except for the asbestos. Would
>fiberglass be a reasonable substitute?
>
>- Given proximity of this heat source, is it better to use DOT3 brake
fluid, if
>the shield is not installed?
>
>- Does anyone re-manufacture these. If so, how much do they cost?
>
>I was also told that routing for the exhaust system on late model MBs went
>straight back, instead of exiting just in from to the wheel on the
passenger's
>side. What is the proper configuration; and if different, when did it
change
>(date or S/N)?

>Enjoy your day -- Preferably in an old (1945 MB) jeep.
