Relining E brake bands....

[Bob Carriere]

HI Phil

Got you 4 tailights.... and brackets...

On Rob's brake system....... he did everything as per the book.... we are geting the brake lining moving..... leaks are now all addressed....... bleed the system until the bubbles were all gone.....still the pedal sinks slowly to the floor.

Rob deis assembled the MC again..... we repolished the brass sleeve insert suing a special home made tool using circles of 3M pads on a long bolt stud....... re assembled with the same results.

The small bleed hole in the MC was verified to be opened using one of the small oxy-acet tip cleaning wires....... so it is opened.

Could it be that the rod that enteres the MC.... the one with the ladder type construction ..... which is adjustable.... is out of wack???? I have had experienced wheel cylinders not releasing after installing a new MC of a dodge truck because the MC cylinder was not coming back far enough to release line pressure.

Could the brass sleeve be contributing to the fluid bypassing and preventing the pressure to build up....

By the way.....notwithstanding all the recent email..... I am staying committed to running silicone brake fluid..... probably the only time I will have to try it out on a new system..... if I don't like it will revert back to the usual stuff.

See you at the show.

Bob
