After letting the car sit in the garage for over a year, I finally got
around to replacing the brake MC on my '69 B. What a PITA!
I used a new reproductiom MC from Moss because I wanted to replace the
trap valves, which one has to reuse when replacing with a rebuilt MC. I
had an intermittent problem with the brakes failing completely - pedal
to the metal - which I deduced was because one or both of the trap
valves (called compensating valves in non-MG parlance) in the MC was
sticking open.
Anyhoo, I finally got to use a Gunson Eezibleed brake & clutch bleeding
kit that I bought long ago. That doggone thing works great! Beats the
pie out of having the wife pump the pedal! Of course you have to have
a brake MC cap to sacrifice so as to install the pressure fitting in
it. No problem for me, since I replaced the entire MC.
So we took a ride to see bluebonnets on our TX hill country roads
(Willow City loop for you Texans). First time we've used the B since
the summer of 2010. I had forgotten how much fun it is to drive the B.
