Fellow listers, I've been blessed with some good advice on the list lately concerning my brakes. Acting on some of that advice, I decided to check the easiest thing first - are my brake pads getting

Philip, The blue stuff IS the antisqueal compound. It is spread on the steel side of the brake pads and provides a cushioned, adhesive to prevent the pads from high frequency chatter. It should conta

The blue sticky stuff is a substitute for the missing anti-squeal shims. It's purpose is the same, and you can leave it there. As far as checking the master cylinder for proper operation and no bindi

I suspect your blue sticky substance is the same thing as the 'redish orange' sticky substance on the back of my pad's. It's an anti-squeel material to keep the pads from squeeling when the dust fro

Harlan, I used Castrol GTLMA brake fluid on advice of the list. Definitely not silicon. However, I did flush the system first with rubbing alcohol before refilling with the Castrol. Does anyone think

Many thanks to several folks who posted info on the blue sticky stuff being an anti-squeal arrangement. I'll leave it for now, but know that I can remove it if other things don't work. I've considere

No, adjustable pushrods between the pedal and the master cylinders are one of the anachronisms of the old 'A's, Healeys, etc. The latter cars, like your 74 Midget, do not have threaded pushrods so th

of the Midget, Thanks for that piece of advice! When I went down, I saw the brake stop light switch adjustment and that was all. Now, I know I didn't just miss it. :) Philip Burgundy 1974 Midget
