[Healeys] Hot Brakes

[Norman Nock]

 JOE ..lf you had a high / hard brake pedal on your
car
the brake fluid inside the brake master cyl. was not
returning the fluid into the reservoir and leaving
pressure on the system , each time you applied the
brakes they got harder and harder ... you should have
noticed this brake drag when you were driving ... this
problem is in the master cyl. OR is there something
stopping the brake pedal returning ??? return spring
missing ??

                 Replace your master cyl. with a new
one
