My corvette was built may of 59 and has a small 022 brake master cylinder in it, which I have lost points for. I purchased a large 022 cylinder and the front plug is not completely round it is flat around the edges and round in the center. My small 022 plug is completely round, are there any judged differences or date markings and could the whole cylinder be painted black and pass judging? Thanks to any and all responses.

Re: 59 LARGE "022"
I think as long as the plug had the #5454480 and 320-G on it it would pass. I would paint it cast grey and some black overspray from the blackout process is what the judges like. -

Bill,
If I remember correctly my 59, VIN #1606 had a "small" 022 master cylinder. It was built on Dec. 1, 1958. If your car is an early build you may want to double check prior to changing it.Comment

Re: 59 LARGE "022" May 59 car?
I don"t agree with the judges, but twice I have had it judged and they were sure I should have a large 022 on a car built may 8 of 59.Comment

Bill,
Just because a judge or 2 thinks its wrong doesn't mean it is for sure. Maybe an email to the 58-60 team leader or some other 58-60 afficinado might offer another expert opinion. If you post the question on this board you may get a few opinions.Comment

Judging Guide says " Beginning about January of 1959 the last three numbers[022]had the larger digits"Comment
