I should really say master cylinder blues. I thought the cylinders had felt pretty smooth, so I used a re-build kit. Unfortunately, when I filled it up the cylinders leaked badly. So I had to send it off for a re-sleeve job. I'll post my experience with that when I get it back.
I had some new rubber hoses for the front brakes, I got them with the car. I think they were from Victoria British, at any rate, they fit the drum end well but not the hard line connection. They were also too short, they wouldn't have allowed a full turn of the steering wheel. So I ordered new from Cecelia at Scarborough Faire. I decided to do the hard lines over too, I had thought to leave that until the engine is out, much easier to work them in then.
All this means little progress as I wait for parts. I hope to have some more progress soon.
