To the list,
1972 Triumph TR6.
Have original brake master cylinder and servo. Noticed brake fluif coming out
at the bottom of the master where it is bolted to the servo. Have cleaned and
driven the car, it is a slow leak.
Discussed with Randall, contacted TRF to see about Girling replacement. MC
backordered, they have a replacement, but not Girling. Servo is a repro, the
two about $485.
Have reviewed the list on this topic, and it looks like Apple Hydraulics is the
way to go. I would want a full rebuild of both (why not), and their website
says both for $300. I have had carbs done by Paltech, came back and looked
brand new. Had fuel pump rebuilt by TRF, came back and looked brand new. Had
distributor rebuilt by Advanced Distributors, came back and looked brand new.
You see where I am going here? Can someone on the list who has gone through
this process with Apple confirm their work? From everything I read, they do a
great job. Do they paint the servo? I would like some input from someone who
has gone through this recently.
I am not a rebuild kind of guy, but I have removed and reinstalled everything
above. It appears to be fairly simple to remove both, plug the brake lines,
drain the fluif, remove the plastic reservoir, ship them the whole thing, they
return with the gaskets to reinstall the reservoir, bolt it back up, top off
and bleed the brakes.
Thanks in advance,
Craig
