★ This metal plug ensures a reliable seal for the master cylinder and prevents brake fluid leakage.
Application
For use on the master cylinder of Dodge WC-series vehicles where an additional port is present (often used for stoplight switch on later applications). On WC lorries, the stoplight switch is located in the 4-way junction on the frame, requiring this port to be sealed.
Installation notes
Unscrew the old plastic plug. Clean the thread in the master cylinder. Fit the new metal plug with light hand pressure — do not overtighten to prevent damage. Use PTFE tape or pipe thread paste if necessary for optimum sealing.
Compatibility
Fits master cylinders with 1/8 NPT thread. Note: early Dodge WC lorries had a sloped master cylinder; later M37 cylinders are flat top. This plug fits both types provided the port is present with 1/8 NPT thread.
Historical context
Many reproduction master cylinders were supplied with plastic plugs in the port originally intended for a stoplight switch. These plastic plugs are notorious for leaking and are therefore replaced by solid metal plugs.
