The fluid in the master cylinder has less space to travel to and therefore remains high. Since there is more heat coming off the front brakes a suspect the problem is in that (front brakes) area. I suppose if there was a blockage in the master it could act the same way but don’t remember that ever happen to me previously. </p><p class=MsoNormal>But I’ve been wrong before…..</p><p class=MsoNormal>Perry</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:michael.oritt@gmail.com">Michael Oritt</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, July 25, 2019 5:10 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:healey100m@me.com">Randall Hicks</a>; <a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">Austin Healey</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Healeys] Brake issue</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222'>I'm going for a short ride in a little while to a destination nearby and I will carefully observe if the pedal gets high and hard and if the brakes drag, etc.</span><span style='color:#3333FF'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#222222'><br>If there is a collapsed line the condition should appear relatively quickly don't you think?
