[Healeys] Brake issue

Michael,You are correct in pointing out that there is known problem with the 100 master cylinders. In addition, inadequate free play adjustment of the 100 master cylinder could also cause similar symptoms. Adjusting the free play seems like the easiest thing to check first.Gary Hodson

Regarding pushrod free play.Unfortunately the known problem with 100 master cylinders is internal to the cylinder itself and is not resolved by ensuring that the push rod has free play.Roger Moment wrote an excellent, and of course exhaustive,  article on the subject many years back after he encountered difficulties when using silicon fluid.

I still suspect the lack of proper free play in the brake pedal & this is the easiest to check. Simply adjust the free play, temporarily, such that there is excessive free play & go for a test drive. Gary H
