Trying to do some cheap upgrades at this point, and had a couple of questions.

First question is, does anyone know of a rattle can paint that matches the original silver interior paint? I got a new to me gas tank for in the cab, and am working on cleaning the yellow/orange paint off of it, so I can paint it the correct color. I wanted to paint behind it too, so that part is basically done for now, and I can pretty much just leave it be, as I work on other things.

Secondly, The gasket on my master cylinder is almost totally solid. When bleeding the brakes, fluid is leaking out even with the lid screwed down. I would like to find a new one, or make one if needed. What material should be used for the gasket? While talking about the master cylinder, the bolt head for the lid is almost totally stripped. Can I use a regular bolt, or will the brake fluid cause problems?

With my luck, I would get the wrong type of gasket material, and or the wrong type of bolt, and the brake fluid would break down that material of either... or both of them, and ruin the system. LOL

You'll be fine with standard cork gasket material and any bolt that is the proper length and diameter. I think that bolt is a 1/4-20. There should be a little o-ring that goes on the bolt after you slide it through the lid. That keeps the bolt and lid together and makes things nice.

Thanks Cort!
