The brakes on Rosey (1970 TR6) have been a constant source of
concern, first I had trouble bleeding them, then we:
Replaced the master cylinder
Replaced the vacuum hose
Replaced the booster (partco rebuild)
Prior to that the brakes required pumping to get a hard pedal, now no
pumping is required, but the brakes require considerable effort
(foot pressure) to stop the car. After a run to Lodi yesterday,
which required some traffic driving, the rear brakes felt warm, but
the front calipers were cold. I am now wondering if, One the
booster I put in was bad or Two the front brakes are not pulling
their share of the load (which should be about 60% ISTR). There must
be a way to test this, I am concerned that the car is not safe
to drive ...
Thanks for the help
