Hello

 

I would echo Mike=E2=80=99s advice not to hone the cylinders as that remove=
s the hardened surface of the bore. 

 

In both the BN3 and the Healey saloon I had all the cylinders fitted with s=
tainless steel sleeves. The BN3 has a BN1 brake master cylinder, a DHMC spe=
cially built hydraulic clutch system with wheel cylinders made from unobtai=
nium, while the Saloon has hydraulic Lockheed brakes and mechanical clutch.=


 

Apart from rubbers going soft, which is probably the problem with your clut=
ch, there has been no problems at all.

Hi Carl, you need to check to see if the level has gone down again, it most=
 likely has.

If so my guess would be that the slave or possibly the master cylinder is l=
eaking.

Easily rebuilt with a kit DO NOT HONE THE CYLINDER(S). 

If you are doing one I would recommend doing both and if the hose is an old=
 one replace it at the same time.
