Listers,
I took the car out for a nice long drive this morning (100+ miles round
trip). About 15 miles from home, on the way back, the brake pedal slowly
went to the floor. A quick pump and the brakes stopped the car without a
problem.
So now I need to repair/replace the master cylinder. What size cylinder
bore do I have? The car is a 1964 BJ8, MK III with the brake booster.
The chassis number is 29009. Do I have a 78" or a 3/4" bore. My manual
does not indicate the bore size.
Should I repair or replace it? I am inclined to repair if there are
quality parts available. It seems that a quality master cylinder
replacement is not readily available.
Thanks for some sound advice,
Fred Wescoe
