help need a Brake Master Cylinder
Posted: Mon May 19, 2008 3:43 pm
Hi im new, just got a '77 1.6 gl nothing special but solid!!
I believe the master cylinder has gone i push the brake pedal little resitance but no or very minor braking then it moves an extra inch all of a sudden resulting in the fronts locking up with nothing on the rear!
I know the capper runs a dual circuit with the rears coming in first does this mean there is a problem with the part of the master cylinder that controls the rear?
I have tried to get a new one or a repair kit without much luck does a matser cylinder from any other fords fit? (1.6 Pinto)
Or am i going in the complete wrong direction.
P.S new discs callipers and pads on the front and i have had the rear drums apart all is fine! and handbrake works ace!
any help greatly appreciated!!
Cheers
Colin
