Subject: [Healeys] BN1 brake system
=20
We have been trying for several months to bleed the brakes on RHD BN1, =
to no avail. The car has been professionally restored & appears to be in =
excellent condition. Today, we tried again to bleed the system following =
the shop manual. I.E. backing off the adjusters on the front & back & =
bleeding & then readjusting the brakes. The results were the same. There =
seems to be an excessively large amount of pedal travel before the =
brakes are engaged & when engaged they feel "spongy". We have access to =
2 other 100's for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =
Also, we are not clear on the adjustment of the free play of the master =
cylinder.=20
