brake fluid canister

Offline
im stripping/cleaning the engine compartment on the bj7 for paint, new elec. harness, clips/fasteners etc. before reinstalling the rebuilt engine that's been on the dyno for three weeks now and i wont go into it here cuz Thursday or Friday you all get to see me on CNN. in handcuffs being led by several tall men ill be the one with the blood smears all over me ah no it wont be my blood, anywho, while removing the break fluid canister dual resivure type the inboard "adaptor" spun i did get the line off but while cleaning it up i noticed the two adaptor fittings are soldered to the bottom of the can, seems strange to me because there are rubber seals inside the can just about totally disintigrated between the nut and the bottom of the can, and the rubber rings/seals show up on the moss parts diagram, i dont have access to another one to inspect so my question is.. does anyone know if their can fittings are also soldered or might this be something a p.o. had done to seal a leak? thanks, Anthony 7777.

No solder, and the seals on mine weren't rubber, more like a fibre washer.

Incidently, the seals were on both sides of the can.

Hope you get a good cellmate...

randy, thanks, yes the moss dia. shows the seals on both sides of the adaptor, sorry i did a less then accurate description of the condition of mine, so the p.o. soldered the connections and actually solved the problem, im just going to change out the canister, Ive already got all new s.s. break lines and fuel lines as well, as for my upcoming incarceration Ive prearranged to be placed in "bedford hills" in westchester co. n.y. ya know the place they put jean Harris the scarsdale diet doctors "x"? :devilgrin:
