I drove my Healey to our local ABFM. On the way home the brakes felt hard
and stopping distances were longer. I have early MK1 disc brakes.
When I got home I saw a puddle of clean flying on the drip pan under my
front left caliper or brake tank. No leaks under the tank. The tank was
nearly empty. So hose or caliper. I have not checked yet. But will try to
get it off the ground this weekend. Any recommendations for rebuilders if
it's the caliper. Apple hydraulics used to be good. Are they still?
It has early MK1 calipers. So I most likely will need to send them out.
Thanks for any advice.
