Removed my servo and fitted new (second hand) master cylinder. This is so I can fit twin 40's.
The master cylinder is of a tandem Mk2 Escort. It has 2 outlets at the front and one at the rear. I plumbed it so the front ones go one to each of the front calipers. (Austin Princess 4 pots)
Bled the fronts no problem. They work fine, can lock them up if I want.
The rear seemed to bleed alright, but I don't think they are working. All new in there and recent MOT pass so don't suspect anything wrong in there.
The pedal seems to press in easy at first, which gives very small amount of braking. Then the pedal goes solid, seemingly against the front calipers. A lot more solid than me getting used to servo.
Do you think one of the seals has gone on the master cylinder, or is my plumbing wrong?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
ps during "testing" I discovered that with a bit of heel and toe footwork I can do some pretty impressive burnouts
Impressed Fred too
