Hi,
The front brakes on my TR4 have virtually stopped working & I cant
quite figure out why. Its stopping on the rear system.
Here's the situation. I rebuilt the brakes with: new master cylinder seals,
new flexible brake hoses, new front cylinder pistons a couple of
years ago and the system worked just fine - TR4 brakes are very strong.
Last summer I noticed that the front brakes were not doing their stuff
& I couldnt figure it out - a thorough bleeding seemed to cure it
back to 100%.
Now the problem has returned. I havent had a chance to make a close
look; the only clues are that the fluid level is down about 1/2 inch
and I have to pump once to get braking when I start it up - a sure
sign of air, alas.
Was replacing those pistons a bad idea?
Any hints or clues appreciated - I'm using the regular (not silicon)
brake fluid.
Regards, Adrian
