Are the washers brown or black? Ibelieve the brown ones are the
original type and the black ones are being proffered by somesuppliers
and may be slightly undersized. I usually, if I think of it, soakthem
in WD-40 for an hour or so before installing, and re-torque themafter a
day or so because they do take a set. I torque them 'elbow-tight*'with
a 13/16" half-inch socket and wrench (fits the bolt head well). Itwould
be difficult, but not impossible to strip the threads on a banjofitting
as they're coarse (you'd likely strip the carb or pump threads, notthe
bolt).

* Torque settings : finger-tight, wrist-tight,elbow-tight,
shoulder-tight and all-you-got tight.

 It sure sounds like air. The 100 system is difficult to bleed due to the p=
lacement of the wheel cylinders and bleeders. I like to pull out the fluid =
rather than push out the stuff. Use something like a Mityvac to do this sta=
rting at the right rear.=C2=A0
The smallest bubbles will create a lot of pedal travel but if it pumps up t=
o a hard pedal then its for sure air in the system. Keep the cap on the can=
ister when bleeding and check under the canister for a wet finger.=C2=A0 Mo=
ss has good seals for that purpose.
The word "new" in brake systems scares me, as there are so many crappy repl=
acement parts made in foreign countries that look like good new items. I pr=
efer to rebuilt original or sleeve them if necessary to use the original it=
ems. The seal kits are another story. Can you find good Girling repair kits=
. Many of the foreign replacements are knockoffs of the original. Use TRW (=
they bought Lockheed) only-not unknown brands...even new Lucas is not old L=
ucas.
I pumped and pulled gallons of brake fluid thru a MKI bugeye system only to=
 find the seal stuck in the back of the master cylinder because the Moss pu=
rchased seals were too big! Use TRW. When I got the replacement seals from =
them, they had the same number stamp on the seal. They are using the same m=
olds to make the seals.
Did you use red grease on all the threaded fittings? Check all for a wet fi=
nger. Hope this info lessens your frustration. A word that goes hand in han=
d with brake bleeding. Hank

<div>The car has recently under a full ground up restoration so things like=
 brake lines including flex lines are new, seals in the brake cylinders are=
 new, the master cyl. is new, etc.</div>



<div>We bleed the system so many times different way that I have lost track=
.&nbsp;</div>



<div>We have adjusted the free play to assure that the plunger is able to r=
eturn to the full "off" position.</div>



<div>When we adjust the operating rod to achieve the specified 1/8" free mo=
vement at the pedal.</div>



<div>We have adjusted the brake shoes to have a very slight drag at rest.</=
div>



<div>Our issue is:</div>



<div>Excessive brake pedal travel before the brakes begin to be effective.&=
nbsp;</div>



<div>Pumping the brakes temporarily improve the pedal travel issue, which w=

<div>We are not having any leaks &amp; the reservoir port is functioning co=

Sure, but 13/16" fits well.<br>

<div>I think that SU fittings are Whitworth size wrench sizes...not
13/16". And you can strip out the threads in the cast fuel bowl

<div>It sure sounds like air. The 100 system is difficult to bleed due to t=
he placement of the wheel cylinders and bleeders. I like to pull out the fl=
uid rather than push out the stuff. Use something like a Mityvac to do this=
 starting at the right rear.&nbsp;
<div><br>
</div>

<div>The smallest bubbles will create a lot of pedal travel but if it pumps=
 up to a hard pedal then its for sure air in the system. Keep the cap on th=
e canister when bleeding and check under the canister for a wet finger.&nbs=
p; Moss has good seals for that purpose.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>The word "new" in brake systems scares me, as there are so many crappy=
 replacement parts made in foreign countries that look like good new items.=
 I prefer to rebuilt original or sleeve them if necessary to use the origin=
al items. The seal kits are another story. Can you find good Girling repair=
 kits. Many of the foreign replacements are knockoffs of the original. Use =
TRW (they bought Lockheed) only-not unknown brands...even new Lucas is not =
old Lucas.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>I pumped and pulled gallons of brake fluid thru a MKI bugeye system on=
ly to find the seal stuck in the back of the master cylinder because the Mo=
ss purchased seals were too big! Use TRW. When I got the replacement seals =
from them, they had the same number stamp on the seal. They are using the s=
ame molds to make the seals.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>Did you use red grease on all the threaded fittings? Check all for a w=
et finger. Hope this info lessens your frustration. A word that goes hand i=
n hand with brake bleeding. Hank<br>

 assuming you have some
resistance after pumping the pedal, jam the pedal down hard and
leave it at least overnight, preferably longer. Do this repeatedly
&amp; you will find the pedal comes up. Don=E2=80=99t ask me why, but I=E2=

this several times with my own and other people=E2=80=99s cars, and it

 Robert uses a great body shop in Eugene called Precision Classics-
they did my 100 and many, many Healeys for John Wilson. Wonderful
craftsmen with modern day skills. I highly recommend their work.
It's worth the trip to Eugene to have them finish your car.&nbsp;

<div>As a follow up to my earlier email looking for a front shroud.
I may have found one but it needs a little work. Does anyone have
recommendations for someone with experience repairing these
aluminum shrouds (shaping and fabricating). Aluminium requires a
different skill set from that for steel. I live in the Portland
area<br>
