Look closely at the pipes and bleed screws on the front cylinders the =
brake line connect at the top of the cylinder and the bleed screw goes =
in the bottom hole. This is totally wrong to any other cylinder. The =
bleed screw always goes to the top of the cylinder because that is where =
the air is.
Then take a three pair of vice grips and pinch off all the flex hoses, =
you should have a solid pedal right up to the top. If not there is air =
or a problem in the master cylinder.
Then remove one pair at a time starting at the rear. Try the brakes each =
time, when you loose the brakes that is where the problem is.
Look at the contact area of the shoes. Most of the brake shoe area must =
be touching the drums otherwise you will be flexing the shoes. Many of =
the new shoes on the market are not arced to a drum.

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 brake system
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
