After I sold my '59 Rambler wagon I looked around for anything that I could put some time in on. This fell in my lap. I like it.[ATTACH]
Not a hot rod. Just a grocery getter, or kayak carrier, or general all around cruiser.[ATTACH]
New stainless steel brake lines. 0 miles.
I did bench bleed it first.
Thanks Pat. I just ordered a 1" bore.
This MC is 1969 Chevy drum brake model.
Original drums. Stopped well until last week.
Original had 1/4" out of the single circuit. It still has 1/4" to the front and 3/16" the the rear.
No pictures yet. I will take some tomorrow. I did the plumbing after stopping at the parts store for fittings.
No markings on MC. Remanufactured made in Mexico replacement for 1969 Impala.
Pedal has pressure, and slows the car but not very quickly. Pedal does not bottom out either. Just slows the car down even when I stomp on it.
I have been searching the posts on MC brakes and there are differing opinions on where the lines go, either the front or the rear of the MC.
Original single circuit MC bore was 1 1/8".
When it was single circuit, good brakes, stopped well until I lost the brakes last week. Now it slows down with some pressure on pedal but won't...
Same bore size 1 1/8". New wheel cylinders installed before I got car. 0 miles on them.
Separate names with a comma.
