[ this is a re-post as it didnt work before; sorry if you've seen this very
recently ]
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 & seals 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 clue is that the fluid level is down about 1/2 inch.
Was replacing those pistons a bad idea?
Any hints or clues appreciated - I'm using the regular (not silicon)
brake fluid.
Regards, Adrian
