67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver

Went home this past weekend and got some stuff done to the GTS. I was able to install the return spring for the parking brake (thank you @John Wymore ) and I got the wiper linkage installed. I ended up drilling into the wiper arm pivots to clean out the old grease and install grease fittings to fill it with new stuff (thank you @RealWing for posting that in your thread!).

I also messed with the leaking proportioning valve. This was a replacement from inline tube that have a reputation for leaking with DOT 5 fluid. Well the only place I could see it leaking from was from the copper washer at the top. I dont see how a copper washer would not be compatible with DOT 5 fluid, but I figured before I make a mess and install another one that may have the same problem see if I could find another copper washer. I found one on McMasterCarrs web site, their 91818A224 cadmium plated one. I did have to file the ID of it to get it to fit over the threads on the top part of the proportioning valve, but I was able to get it installed. I installed it Saturday morning and as of Sunday morning there was no wet spots on the valve and the level in the master cylinder did not go down. So I may have got this issue solved!!
