- I have a Bugeye with Mk IV dual-circuit master cylinder and brakes installed by the PO. Last outing the brake switch quit on me. I just got it all apart, and it turns out that the pedal box bracket h

- I take it that it doesn't have the original style bugeye pedal box in it because the original box does not have any provision for a brake light switch as it is mounted on the passenger side wheel arc

- ...If I can't trust it, how do you go about rebuilding it? I bought a kit for it, but I don't see any way to get it apart! The snap rings are WAY down a narrow bore. What are my options here? I'll bu

- Hello all, I've been doing some work under the hood of my '69 Midget. Painting etc etc....We were bleeding the brakes last night, and was able to get the front ones bled just fine. Moved to the rear,

- In my case on my 72 Midget it was a little of everything. After replacing the master cylinder (nothing was coming out of the appropriate port on it), I was able to get fluid to the rear hose, but I h

- Yes it's rebuildable. Moss even sells a kit (181-995) for $6. What I did, I bought two O-rings, 3/16ID x 5/16 OD x 1/16" thick. First, remove the switch (it just unscrews), then take off the big nut

- Thanks for the tips guys. The car was functioning fine back in November. But i'm not sure that the rear brakes were working then or not. I replaced the front hoses due to a leak in the right side. Th

- Check/replace the rubber "flex" brake lines that go to the calipers. Not quite sure of the physics behind it, but they do "swell shut" or collapse when they get real old. I had the same problem on m

- Replacing with stainles steel lines is worth the money(I think)-they last forever, they look good, and they make your brake pedal really stout! Roger Cotting See you in Tahoe! /// unsubscribe/change
