Hate to add to the hijack of this mans' thread, but have to agree with you ! I'm toward the end of an long journey to revive '39/'41 hydraulics and to correct a horrible attempt to install them in place of the rod mechanicals that henry put thereon. As I toiled on a system that I hadn't paid for in $, but I paid for it a second time in blood/sweat/tears,eh! I kept looking at my '30 roadster with its' restored mechanicals and had the EXACT thot that you've succintly expressed. Life is funny (odd)sometimes. I ended up buying hydraulic parts from a barner back east..who was returning his vehicle to mechanicals. Then there's this gentleman , who is going the other way. To each his own
