Brakes have leaky cylinders all round and the plastic reservoir is bodgy patched up. Flexi Lines could do with replacing...
Swap out cylinders or rebuild?
Replace reservoir or entire master cylinder and reservoir?
Orig lines or flashy chrome mesh covered?
Any suggestions?
All I did with mine was pull the wheel cylinders out, pull them apart, and clean everything up. Hone the cylinder with some 400 wet and dry, then reassemble with clean fluid. This may or may not work, but its not hard to do and may save you a few dollars. The rubbers in mine were in good condition, so you may know as soon as you pull them apart if they are worth rebuilding.
Some braided lines may not be approved, and some mechanics will pick on them, so I would go stock black ones personally.
While putting the new sunnies and 33's on I rebuilt/reco'd the worst of the leaking cylinders (front right). Unfortunately "Budder" is still dribbling brake fluid on my driveway. Will have to try and grab a couple of new cylinders from Graeme tomorrow and get it sorted properly.
He is still starting and running well but the clutch has gotten worse all of a sudden. Can't select a gear from neutral at idle and if starting in gear the friction point is that far gone he will gradually crawl fwd (or back if in reverse). He was parked up for some time before I took possession and I was hoping this clutch business was going to just be use it more and it will free up... I had a look in the clutch cylinder and the fluid looks to be at a good level but is quite dark. Beyond that I know little of this clutch or what to do with it.
Any ideas, tricks of trade or suggestions on clutch servicing or replacement/refresh?
All comments appreciated.
