Brakes

I was in the process of putting the clutch back together and discovered that the farmers fix brake reservoir had a leak in it.


So all that work cleaning up the clutch master and I still don't have any clutch (or brakes).  So I did the most prudent thing, ordered a new brake / clutch reservoir from Pegasus.


This reservoir feeds the clutch and the brake master cylinders so I ended up buying the correct lines for these as well from Pegasus.  The parts were reasonably priced and saved me building the lines which I was reluctant to do considering it was for the brakes.



Once I had it all installed I could bleed the clutch and the brakes.  I bench bled the master brake cylinder first because of the install of the new reservoir.  Then patched in the lines and bled the lines starting at the furthest wheel cylinder. No issues, the clutch works now and the brakes are firm. I am curious how these brakes are going to do, if they are soft I may consider upgrading to a vac booster and modern master cylinder.
