??O-ring for manual push rod bolt??

[Pentarockstar]

Need an o-ring for a manual push rod bolt? That bolt that attaches the master cylinder push rod to the brake pedal. I found a replacement at Lowes in the faucet repair section. It is a Danco #41 O-ring. Works perfect!! Just grease it up for that new car feel!!

( See picture further down in thread )

I thought they were a square cut but if o-rings work...well, that's even better!

They are a square ring with a notch in them, very specific, dr diff sells,them. I’d rather get the correct item for a safety thing. It $3 plus the ride. Buy something else and help out a guy that helps us with our hobby.

That’s not what he is asking about. He means the o ring for the bolt that holds the rod to the brake pedal. Kim

In a pinch I've sliced off a piece of vacuum hose, it works!

Obviously, and a razor blade cut piece of hose gives you a really nice, square cut, substitute.
To each his own.

The o-ring on the BOLT, not push rod.

OK, OK, read it again, can I blame abdwgn?
Right answer for the wrong question

 

[oldkimmer]

I’m just busting ur chops. I’ve done that too. Well I guess ya gotta blame somebody. Kim

Stupid question - what does that o-ring do anyway? Does it just keep the fit snug?

 

[Pentarockstar]

Yes i think so, other wise it would rattle around in there. Kinda like my last brain cell.

Who knew there was an o ring there!

 

[Pentarockstar]

Who thought you could find parts for an old Mopar in the faucet repair section of Lowes?

Sorry! I misread that also. Gee, teachers were right about reading comprehension.
Guess that's why I need to read instructions, listen to someone explain things and
watch them do it. Thanks George!
