I've not had the best of luck with Apple Hydraulics and gave up on their
rebuilds. A new master brake cylinder isn't cheap, but it's not
overly-expensive, either. Make sure you bench-bleed it before you put it in the
car and use a vacuum tool for bleeding. Before using the vacuum tool, I remove
the bleed nipples and put a small amount of anti-seize compound on the
threads...just a small amount. This keeps air from passing through the threads
when you create the vacuum and ensures the nipples don't seize in the calipers
and rear adjusters. These steps will save you a lot of time and anxt.

Subject: Re: [6pack] Almost...
Tell me more about the master cylinder... What do you mean by "flipping the new
rubber seal in the master cylinder's rear circuit"? I have a professionally
rebuilt MC (by Apple Hydraulics) that appears to be leaking and that goes
almost to the bottom before the brakes finally "do their thing". Also, it makes
a croaking sound like a sick frog! I'm loath to suspect Apple in tis because of
their reputation for many years of quality rebuilds, but there is been very few
miles put on the MC since I got it back - a couple of years, yeah, but no miles
(you all know what that means...).
Why did you opt for a new one and not rebuild it yourself?

Subject: Re: [6pack] Options
There were very few factory options for the TR6. The overdive was probably the
most well known option and it was called out on the commission number tag with
the suffix being "LO" or "UO" for the NA spec cars. The York air conditioning
units were a factory sanctioned option (did not void the warranty) but were
dealer installed. The Metal Hardtop was a factory option but could also be
purchased from the dealer after sale as a kit. Tires Michelin or Good Year were
fitted at the factory and the Michelins were treated as an option but I am bit
sure how the dealers handled this one.
All of the other stuff (Hardtops, soft tops, lighters, shift knobs, ski racks,
luggage racks, etc) were pretty much aftermarket, a lot of it being from a
company called AMCO.

Thanks for this list.
Something I have never seen but actually own one myself is a TR6 ski rack!
I even put it to use!
I?ve thought if I go to a car show sometime I?d mount it just to be different.
I wish I had OD and AC would be nice too.

<CAOc+-dw9zS4gKkX5kcc9YKWYE5c0+VimreJ9ev+i9tAZoBbLdw@mail.gmail.com>
Hello Friends,
Its Saturday again here on America's south coast. Another fun day is
beginning. This one is dedicated to the TR6.
I had intended to take my TR6 to the painter on Monday but the weather
forecast has changed my mind. Instead, I am addressing an issue that I had
originally intended to save for after paint. Specifically, brakes.
While bleeding the all-new brakes a few months ago, my grandson over
extended the piston in the brake master cylinder. Doing so damaged the rear
brake circuit part of the MC. My car now has a new MC installed and we are
ready to bleed the system again. This time I am placing a 2x6 board in the
pedal box thereby limiting the pedal/MC piston throw.
My junior mechanic - six-year-old grandson Kelum - is helping me again
today. Yea, the same guy with the offending lead foot, but this time he's
helping with the jack, jack stands, lug wrench, and wheel removal. Its
going to be a fun, hot, dirty morning. Can't wait.
Rick
