Your are correct, the item on the drivers side of the firewall is the voltage regulator cover made by Cal Custom (part #40-63). The finned item on the passenger side is a horn relay cover also made by Cal Custom (no part #). The horn relay on the original coupe (and mine) is a 1956 Corvette 913 relay. I don't really know why this is on the coupe as it is not hooked up. Here is a FREEBEE for you. The master cylinder on the origianl coupe can be bought at Napa Auto Parts Item#: UP34404. Encolsed below are some better pictures of these items for you to get a better look at. Hope this helps you out.

hi all!! i put this master cylinder on my car for the clutch,it works great but seems to seep fluid out the top,under the top is a cardboard gasket? and two o rings,do they go top to bottom around the cardboard on the bolt? can i get a new gasket and where? thanks pete

I'll have to look at mine today and report back, but I think the o rings go directly under the lid, but before the paper gasket.

Mine never seeped, so wherever they are in there they must have worked. I'll let you know tonight, in the event someone else doesn't post an answer first.

Hey project thx!
Car is looking great! Great does not even cover it. Your attention to detail is amazing. Glad to hear you got through those kidney stones and very sorry to hear about your grandfather earlier this year. AWSOME CAR!! Don Jr.

Hey Everyone,

Just thought I better post something so you all don't think I have fallen off the face of earth .

Well it has taken me a quite a bit of time to get this far on this project as my family and I went on vacation (to Branson Missouri), we have also had a couple of deaths in the family (my aunt Sharon and my great uncle Joe who both I will miss as there is still an ache in my heart as both were GREAT people) and I have been going down to the farm to help my grandmother out since my grandfather passed away in March. So as you can see I have been pretty busy running around but I am know finding a little time to work on the old girl.

This is what is taking place at the present time. The chassis is getting all welded up plus it is getting the boxing plates step boxed. The stainless firewall insert is getting drilled so all of the componets can be installed (fuel block, master cylinder and radiator support rods) which is not that easy as this stuff is HARD!!!! I am also in the progress of installing a Juliano's top kit. just so you know that installing this kit is a pain in the ass as it is made for a original steel car . However I will get it installed so it looks like it belongs on the (yes I am using the original 32 measurements).

Hopefully it will not be so long until my next post and THANKS to all of you who are saying such nice things about this build!

Enjoy what photos I have
