MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
I have rebuilt the MC and bleed the system. I still have a very soft pedal and a small small amount of breaks at the floor. I lost my breaks a week ago after hearing a pop when pressing them. The hose to the unit just before the MC is still conected. Does anyopne have any suggestions ? Thanks in advance.
You heard a "pop". Are all of the rubber brake hoses in good shape?
When you rebuilt the MC, did all of the seals go in correctly? This could influence how your BRAKES operate.
"The hose to the unit just before the MC is still conected."
What does this mean?
The pop was the mc seals going south. Are you certain you rebuilt the mc correctly? How are the brake lines?
Did you replace all the soft lines...one each front and one rear? I tend to agree that a seal has failed. From whom and what brand did you buy?
Seal kit was from the Bhive. I am starting to think it is the hose on the unit just before the MC. I that hose has a leak... Will it cause what I described ?
Any leak will cause the problem and I suspect IS the problem. In effect you are sucking air in everytime the fluid leaks. Change the hose...I think I have them in stock FWIW
I think he thinks the brake servo or hose is kaput!!! Would that cause his problem? I don't know, but I'm sure others will chime in.
I am gonna make the container with a sharpe and pump the brakes. If there is a leak the level will go down.
