Hello fellow listers,
Just got back from a visit with my TR3.
You may remember that I had put out a request for help Sunday about
my brakes binding.
Many responses were received. The responses brought out three areas
to check.
1, Rear brake adjustment.
2, Master cylinder / pedal box misadjustment.
3. Brake compensator.
When I arrived at the garage this evening I put the car on jack stands
and adjusted the rear brakes again. This time I followed the instructions
in the Haynes manual for adjusting the handbrake cables. Every thing
checked out ok.
Then I went to the pedal box. There I found that the MC pushrod was
riding on the pedal stop bolt. I tightened the clevis on the pushrod until
the pushrod was no longer riding on the stop bolt.
Took her out for a test drive and no brake binding. Hooray! Big GRIN.
Even the rain with no top didn't dampen my spirits.
Now to get her legal.
A big thank you to everyone who replied.
Roger
