- Throw it out, find one from a 67 Spridget. It bolts right in. I flat out gave up on those masters. PIECES (73 Midget) and my new Bugeye are sporting brake masters from 1967. No funky crap inside, sim

- Just an idle train of thought.... The 'rubber' lumps/cups (seals) in the brake cylinder provide the seals for the fluid within the m/cyl casing (or bore). The pistons provide the mechanical means to

- Hello Guy, Nope, you've missed it entirely. I too thought that the problem would be with the primary seal in the bore. However, that seal provides compression and is not really designed to keep all t

- In retrospect, that is what I should have done. First try MC rebuild leaked. 2nd try, with new sleeve, worked fine...but...the way overpriced "equalizer" or whatever it is called was beyond repair so

- While we are on this topic, last year I needed an MC rebuilt for my 72. I found rebuilt exchanges on Advance's website for around $40, so I figured I would do it. After much delay and many messages b

- Ask Monte Shelton what it is like when your brakes quit in the middle of a race. He lost his 1/2 way through and not only finished, but won. His comment at the end was "Brakes only slow you down". K
