A dremel is used to make V's where cracks are then filled with resin, sanded back undercoated and painted in 2pack My '63 wheel is proving to be a little tougher to do because of the wire spokes.

Are you talking about the "regulator" disk or what ever it's called. In a lot of vehicles it is made of rubber and gives a feel to the pedal. The harder the disk the harder the pedal and with a hard disk you are more likely to lock the brakes early.

A booster overhaul company in Sydney's Silverwater had some made up for PBR boosters in Holdens and they proved too soft so had others made in a harder compound, in the mean time he used the soft ones in another model that had a habit of locking up the brakes, with excellent results.

No boost, and a very "Clunky" feeling pedal, it was about 10 years ago so I have forgotten what it was like exactly,but I remember it was very morris minor like (very hard pedal very little workie) T

The disc was suspected to have been snapped whilst being bleed, so it would possibly been from stomping on it (full pedal movement) when little or no hydraulic resistance.


cheers
