[Roadsters] No brakes!

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Gary,

I've gone the kit route in the past.  I'm pretty sure that the M/C in
my '66 is the original  factory part with just one kit installed years ago.
 The key issue is the cylinder bore.  Is it smooth or pitted.  If it is
pitted, you can try honing it, but I'd go for a new part at that point.  Lots
of things on the car can fail and not threaten your life, but the brake M/C is
one that can hurt you.

Gary

Driving to work today I
tried to stop and the pedal went straight to the
floor.


I pumped the brakes
and got some pressure, but not much, and I was only able
to stop by using the
handbrake and downshifting.


The fluid level is still high, so I assume it is
just a bad master cylinder,
anyone disagree?


Any views on rebuilding or
just  getting a new one?
