[Healeys] Tranny rebuild turned brake job

[Per Schoerner]

If the pipes in the original set up are in good condition there's no 
point in replacing them. I think you should start with the rubber parts, 
especially the flexible hoses, they disintegrate over time and can be 
blocked. If the rear cylinders are good you can reuse them, they are not 
difficult to dismantle, replace all rubber parts in them. Also replace 
all rubber parts in the master cylinder, after examining for faults of 
course. Use rubber grease when assembling, everything goes in very 
smoothly when grease with rubber grease. And clean out the pipes with 
compressed air. Keep everything clean and you should be OK.

I press harder and it still keeps turning.
