Mico bleeder valve

[MHz]

1158 is missing the bleeder valve on top of the Mico master cylinder. Does anybody have photos and/or part numbers so I can buy one?

Thanks,

Ross,

I don't have a part number for you but I did recently post new page dealing with the MICO Master Cylinder on my website (http://www.S-TechEnt.com/Shelby.htm).  I've put up the servicing and bleeding procedures that came with a rebuild kit from some 40 years ago.  You'll find the link at the bottom of the navigation panel for the G.T.350H.  Maybe it will help a bit.  I can look at the bleeder on my car tomorrow if you'd like.

I'm sure most already are aware of this, but seeing this thread I can't help but be reminded of the plot line that ran through several episodes of the '60s daytime soap "Dark Shadows".

Early on in that show Roger Collins is injured when the brakes fail on his '66 GT350H (rented for the purpose of filming a few scenes I would think).

Turns out his troubled son, David, removed the bleeder valve in an attempt to cause the crash.

Sorry for sidetracking a bit!

Not that it has anything to do with the question but for those who may want to use the otherwise fine picture as a example guide please remember that originally there would be sealer sprayed around everything protruding through the firewall. That would includes screws and typically the base of the master cylinder on a regular Mustang or non mico Shelby in a attempt to make it weather tight. In the case of the Mico equipped cars the Ford disc master cylinder was replaced with the fork lift sourced Mico master cylinder. The firewall adapter plate  bracket or Mico master base would not have sealer on it because it was added at SA and consequently did not get sealed on the firewall. There should be however a witness line or evidence of sealer sprayed on the firewall around the area where the Ford Master was sealed to the firewall and then taken off. Some people choose not to add this expected historic detail for one reason or the other. No reason to justify just typically a personal choice. I wanted to mention it so each person can make a informed decision on what makes the best sense for them on their car.

I've added more pictures on my website including the fitting and bleeder (http://s-techent.com/Shelby_Web_Pages/66_GT350H/GT350H.htm).  Hope this helps.
