Final Brake Saga
I finally managed from sources in the UK and Australia to obtain a master cylinder repair kit for my series 2 411 Bristol. I employed a professional experience mechanic to fit the kit , ensuring it went back together correctly.
After much fiddling I had everything back in place. The pedal came good after some bleeding. Job completed after a short test drive.
Next day I drove the 35 Km to have the wheel alignment done. Upon opening the bonnet I found the front brake tank overflowing and the rear one nearly empty. ENOUGH
From the advice given on this forum I purchase a mid 70s Range Rover new cylinder.
Fitting was fairly easy. Parts required
1/ A plate with 2 studs fitted to back of firewall
2/ lengthened push rod ( extra 15mm )
3/ Two new brake lines to extend to boosters.
All fitted together easily
BRAKES ARE FINE
