Ok tried bleeding the brakes today with no success... So I undid the top pipe on the Master brake cylinder... But even when I pump the brake pedal I can't get any fluid to move. (god this is going to be picked on) Sorry about this but where do I start! |

Dean, it's been parked so long the rubbers in all the wheel cylinders and MC will be stuffed, also I bet some of the wheel cylinder pistons are frozen in their cylinders. I'd be buying new wheel cylinders all round, or replace the rears and then fit discs to the front. As for the MC it may just need a clean out and new rubbers, otherwise get it sleeved or replace it. Brakes are not worth cutting corners with.. for your sake and everybody else's.

No shortcuts with this car Kev... smiles.. I plan on discs for the front. I was just trying to get the current setup working if I could... No stress if it doesnt... was just playing for when moving the car around during the build. Car will be stripped & well... the build will begin... First up... see if I can repair damaged pannels. |

I wouldn't bother replacing seals in the MC For $60 from karkraft you can have a brand newy |

For $60 from karkraft you can have a brand newy If you replace the seals they may well be Australian or UK made ones = GOOD. If you buy a new MC you take your chances where made now, but I bet not Oz or UK. Think far east.... |
