I have a 1979 Midget with a dual line master cylinder. I get no flow out
of the rear hole of the master cylinder, This line runs the rear brakes.
Will a master cylinder rebuild kit fix this problem? Is there a fix that
anyone knows of? >>

Dave,
Don't mess around with the MC rebuild unless you are really familiar with how
to do it. Basically, I figure, if you have to ask the question, you probably
aren't! No flame intended, I'm just being cautious. You don't want to take a
chance with the brakes.
Go to an Advance Auto parts store. They have rebuilt dual MCs for anywhere
from $40 to $87. You can't beat the price, even though it doesn't have the
lifetime warranty of the $160.00 rebuilders. I paid $87 for mine, then I saw
the lower price posted here by several others. Tell them that a buddy just
got one for $40, and maybe they'll match it.
>From what I hear, they are a pain to take apart. I read the Haynes and the
Bentley books, but the list went over the procedure in steps while someone
tried to disassemble one. It took about a week!
Good luck. Safety fast! (So you have to be able to stop!)
