Brakes - they work but not well -


Recommended Posts

While we're on brakes, I might as well throw in the exciting brake failure I had after I had finished doing up the 4A, caused by having the wrong flare on the end of one brake line.

Can't remember which one was the one that failed. (Suspect it was ISO, fine for one tighten up, but not for reuse.)

Yep, what I meant was that the one with the LUCAS stamp appears to work and maybe its made differently to the one without the LUCAS stamp on it.

Resurrecting this thread as have found a weep from m/cyl after repeated very heavy braking. So need a replacement to run while the old one is resleeved by Pastparts. I dont want to miss getting the 6 to IWE so can anyone recommend a UK source of a pukka ready-to-fit-with-no-messing TR6 brake master cylinder? Or are these bum m/cyls still being let lose on us?
