[Healeys] brake fluid resevoir

[Skip Saunders]

Yes, it makes sense.

Now you need to find out where and why the clutch fluid escaped...Then
you'll need to fix it...then you will need to bleed the clutch....

Then you'll have to go out and enjoy the car on the road...:-)

Subject: [Healeys] brake fluid resevoir

The brake fluid reservoir on my BJ8 looks like there's an inner
reservoir and an outer reservoir.   The inner one was empty and the
outer one was full.   I filled the inner one back up, and now I have
to pump the clutch pedal a few times to get enough pressure to shift
gears.   The brakes seem fine.

Does that make sense -- the reservoir is internally divided between
the clutch and brakes, with the brakes using the outer and the clutch
using the inner?

thanks in advance,

Tom
