Brake trouble !

Post by grittracing »

Not something you want to be changing less than a week before you take a almost 600 mile trip one way to Freakout ! but at least didnt go out on the way there or on the way home !

woke up this morning, with a puddle under the car. all of the calibers where dry .the only wet spot i could fint was between the master cylinder and boster


note; I would have rather bought from one of the regular (friends) suppliers. but didn't think you could get it here in time before I leave. so ended up going local. paying almost $20 more than catilog price. and now just waiting till they get the master cylinder in this afternoon

No matter how hard we try, there's always something "last minute" before a FreakOut. Mine's in the shop right now. :o

Sorry to hear about your troubles... But better it happen close to home rather than 1/2 way in the middle of nowhere. And even as a Vendor........ I probably would have done the same thing. Buying locally was a sure thing.

Now get to work fixin' it and stop playin' on your computer.

See you next week!

I hope the fluid leaking into the booster hasn't damaged the diaphragm
