[T3] 66 MC rebuild question


Hi,

I'm back on the list (not that anyone noticed I left ;-))since I'm back
to working on the '66 fasty.  

When I stopped I had just rebuilt the MC with an NOS rebuild kit.  I
followed the instructions in the kit and the Factory T3 manual I have to
the letter. The one thing I did not have/could find was a new rubber
stopper that attaches the fluid feed line to the MC so I re used the old
one.  Are new ones Available??  

The bore was honed, and all the parts were installed per instruction in
the correct orientation.  I reinstalled it and filled up the system with
fluid.  All good right?  Well the problem is that it will not build
pressure.  I've now taken it off and all apart, checked all the parts
again including the operation of the check valve and the cup and piston
seal orientation and all are per the manual.

The only thing I don't have is "brake paste" as described in the book. 
It states you need to use "brake paste" when assembling the parts.  I've
never heard of that, where can I get some or what would be a suitable substitute??

Thanks.  Great to have this list to go to in times of need  :-)

Steve
