Triumph Repair: 1975Triumph TR6, TR6, brake


Question
I have a leak at the brake peddle when i depress and release coming from the rod behind the peddle. I replaced the Master cylinder blead the lines. i still have the leak just less. but i also have leak between the M/C and the booster, but its tightened up.Also, i depress the brakes on the road and it sort of rides to a stop, but i feel i blead them properly. I am not sure what to do

Answer
Martin,

Are you saying you have a fluid leak from the master cylinder?  Fluid dripping down into the footwell?

Before you replaced the m/c did you keep having to add brake fluid?   

Sounds like the brake booster has filled up with fluid.  That happens when the m/c seals start leaking, the fluid goes into the booster and destroys it.

That'd also explain the feeling that the brakes aren't working well.   

Cheers,

Jim
