[Healeys] Soft brake pedal follow up

[Daniel and Diane White]

Hi  Larry,
I used your method on all four wheels and was amazed at the amount of 
air that came out of the system (system was originally bled using the 
method outlined in the shop manual).  The pedal is much harder now and I 
feel confident I can handle a panic stop if I have to.  I think I'll put 
a few miles on her and then use your method again just to see what comes 
out.  I thank you and the Healey thanks you.

P.S.  For those of you not familiar with the "Varley Method" this is 
copied from the archives-
> De adjust the front brakes so the wheel cylinders are fully compressed

> master cylinder. This tube should be a couple of Metres long ( 6 feet,
> why isn't the whole world metric) suspend this tube over a step ladder
> or something, so it is higher than the car, open the bleed screw 1/4
> turn and pump the pedal slowly up and down, watch the tube and and the
> fluid rising in it, when there are no bubbles close the bleeder. work
> back to the closest cylinder to the master cylinder, then re adjust the
> front brakes. this works for me every time and you can do the job on
> your own, and you see any bubbles coming up through the fluid in the tube.
