[Mgs] MGB rear brakes

[Simon Matthews]

Charles,

When you brake, do you push your foot down a certain distance? Or do
you push down until you get the appropriate resistance from the pedal?

Yes, it takes more fluid, but this is irrelevant. The driver just
pushes the pedal further in order to get the same resistance. The
fluid will move in  the system to keep the pressure uniform
throughout.
