Hi All,
A dangerous thing, but I am requesting opinions about a problem with my '77
MGB. Got in it this morning to go to work and after getting about a mile,
the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. No brakes. Luckily there was
a turn lane to veer into. And then I nursed it back home.
Now the question. There is no fluid leakage anywhere. I had that problem
about 6 months ago. Replaced a leaking rear brake cylinder and everything has
been fine. But, like I said, absolutely no leakage anywhere in the system
this time. Vacuum to the servo seems fine - plus it is not a loss of power
to the system, we are talking no brakes at all.
My mind now says the interior of the master cylinder is shot. And, that I
probably need a new one - rebuilds never seem to last long for me. Lots of
money...
Am I right? Am I off track? Any thoughts?
Thanks!
