- Last week I finally did my rear brakes. Mine's the servo unit, so, its a bit different, but I got my brake light working. Or should I say, it doesn't come on driving, but does for the hand brake. I u

- The list will tell you that braided is a waste of money. New rubber are just fine. Course, I bought them, before I saw that on the list. :-( You might want to get someone who's driven non-assisted br

- I think they are a trade-off. You get slightly firmer pedal feel, but you give up being able to do a visual inspection and see if they need to be replaced or not. With regular hoses, you can look at

- Help, I am getting very frustrated with my car. 1973 MGB dual line, non-servo brakes. I asked a few weeks ago about a replacement for a master cylinder, so I decided to order a new one from LBCarco.
