Randall brings up a good point. Since the master cylinder probably hasn't
had any service in 25 years, it may be due for new bits. And since you are
replacing hoses, it might be a good time to let shipwright's desease run
it's course. Rebuilt calipers and new rear wheel cylinders will complete
the package and I can not stress how important your brakes are.
This is also a good time to service the rear brake adjusters. Carefully
remove the nuts securing them to the back plates. Use rust buster oil if
necessary. Then remove the adjusting bolt by screwing it completely into
the housing and right through. Then clean up all the parts, lub with
lithium grease and reassemble. Adjusting the rear brakes after this will
be a pleasure.
In its day, the TR6 was noted for having good brakes. It takes a little
maintenence to keep them that way.
