gasket for master cylinder cap??

[74scamp360]

Hey guys i recently bought a 74 scamp with manual drum brakes. I was driving the old baby home and noticted that every time i went to stop that the pedal would go further down each time. I was fairly close to home when i really noticed it and didn't bother stopping to check anything. I got home and decided to look inside the master cylinder just to see. Well it was pretty well empty!! Hmm i wonder why that happened?? Well there's no gasket for the cap and now there's brake fluid all over everything in the engine compatment(luckily it needs painted anyways). So i've been searching around like crazy and just cannot find this gasket!! I've gone to all of my local parts stores and the only one they list is for power brakes which is different. So i'm wondering if anyone knows where i can find one of these or if anyone has one. Thanks a lot your help is appretiated!

Just buy a remanufactured master cylinder. For these cars they are about $10.00 higher than the gasket in most cases.

thought about that but i'll likely do a disc brake swap in the near future so it wouldn't be worth while. I just want it driveable for the short term you know?

I have the gasket and it leaks anyway.

74scamp,

Post a picture of your master cylinder cover with a ruler and I will see what I might have. Free plus postage.
