I have a 1957 100/6 BN4 that I have been working on to get ready for the
road. I am pretty mechanical-minded and have usually been able to "fix" just
about anything with this car, but I am having a brake problem with my right
front brake (drums).
I cannot seem to cure an oosing leak between the rubber brake hose metal
fitting and the brake cylinder.
First, I replaced the copper washer with a new one --- no good.
Second, I replaced the hose with a new one (changed both front hoses) -- no
good.
Third, I am going to remove the front cylinder (once again) and assure that
the 'land' on the cylinder where the copper washer seats is flat.
I have been working on this leak for sometime now and am having a hard time
curing it....... Any ideas?? Thanks for any input.
