Fellow Listers,
I'm having some trouble with the brakes on my 1974 TR6. In my opinion,
the car is not stopping quickly enough. No matter how hard I press on
the brake pedal I can't lock up either the front or rear wheels. Car
stops straight and the brake pedal (in my opinion) is firm.
Here's what I've done (there had to be a repair attempt right?):
Installed a rebuilt master cylinder
Installed new brake lines (all were replaced)
Installed new rear shoes, adjusters and wheel cylinders
The front calipers were removed to replace the front wheel bearings.
I've bench bled the master cylinder and bled the brakes. The brakes were
bled twice, once with the MitiVac and once with the wife. After the
shoes were replaced, I adjusted the rear brakes per the manual. No fluid
leaks that I know of.
I'm at a loss for the next step. Any suggestions or ideas will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
