Frame-mount master cylinder

Wasn't sure if this should be here or in Fabrication, but.... Tired of trying to get a wrench on the bolt head that holds the cover in place on the frame mounted MC? I took a large washer, cut it in half and welded it to the bolt on my partner's MC while we were putting in a new unit. Works very well, and you can still get a wrench on it if it gets really tight.

 

Good idea, but don't they call that a wing nut?

 

That would be a wing bolt . A wing nut threads onto something. That master cylinder uses a bolt to hold the cover on, not a nut. Nickmil

 

I like "wing bolt". It sounds more manly!

Progression of thoughts 'wing nut > wing bolt >"manly" >>> Wingman!'

Can't draw worth beans, put I picture a guy standing there with that half washer arrangement welded to his scalp!

Nut, bolt, ship, boat, engine, motor, sounds like semantics to me.

 

Yeah, antelope, cantelope, it's all the same!R)
