67 Corvette Master Cylinder "DC" Mark

[Bill L.]

Hello:

I have been going over my most recent acquisition (67 Coupe) and was inspecting the brake master cylinder. As stated in the judging manual there should a stamping ("DC") on the non-painted semi-cycle on the forward part of the casting.

I inspected the semi-circle and did not see a "DC" mark. I was considering stamping it there myself ... then I looked one more time, in different light and the "DC" is there!! It is VERY faint --- I rubbed a bit of white chalk on it (so it can be wiped off later) and took a photo. See attached photo. The black arrows indicate the "D" and you can just see the "C" to right of that. All other aspects of the master cylinder are perfect.

My question is this: just depending on the light this stamping visibility comes and goes.... does anyone have any experience with this in judging?

Thanks!!!

Bill

yes, I have seen that in the past. This pad looks to be unusually pitted etc. If it bothers you a lot they are pretty easy to find and replace with a more distinctive stamp. Good luck.

I'm on the 67 team and i can tell you ANY experienced judge will be able to see that DC stamp on ANY given day of judging. ARA

As a newer 67 chassis judge, That DC is real and all I would need to see (with the 5455509) casting. All the new and restamped are different.
