Hi gang, I was in the garage (for just a moment, actually) last night and with the car on stands and wheels off, I was looking at the brakes and got to wondering - are there any simple, bolt-on brake

It is my understanding from various things I've read that the Fiat X-1/9 rear discs can be fitted to the Spitfire. - are there any simple, bolt-on brake upgrades for Spitfires? It would be neat to ha

You have heard correct on the X1/9 stuff. There is some bit of modification that need to be done though and it isn't really straight forward. George. The easiest brake upgrade is to GT6 components. Y

Hi all - Sorry if this has been covered, but I don't remember seeing it. How far should my brake pedal travel on a '79 1500 before it is effective? I have to go almost all the way to the floor for de

Just don't let her drive it. seriously, I seem to remember someone else having this problem with a master cylinder that had some corrosion halfway down. Well all the way down, but bad corrosion halfw

Not really. I think the irregular surface of the corrosion would damage the seals in no time at all and take away the pumping effect of the MC. Sounds to me like there's either air in the lines (it d

I would think a dead giveaway of this would be brake fluid leaking out of the master cylinder. Maybe not a lot, but enough to smell or see when working under the bonnet. bill -- Bill Gunshannon | de-

Have the hoses checked. It's likely that the rubber is ballooning on you and making the pressure swell the hoses instead of actuating the brakes. If you replace them, I suggest stainless braided hos

I just replaced the brake MC on my '73. It works allot better. The brake pedal used to go almost all the way to the floor. I lived with that for a few years until now, when I saw a little brake flui

What vintage Spitfire? If you are comparing the brakes to anything modern then you are just seeing the change that 30 years makes in brake technology. If you changed out the front components then ty
