Hydraulic Brakes 39 Ford.
39 Ford Coupe Hydraulic Brakes .
The master cylinder to my knowledge has not been serviced/rebuilt.
MC is not leaking oil or overfilled.
Recently fitted a set of auto bleeders all round. Just the other day brake pedal came up really tight and brake lights came on. Also noted brakes were "on" without any foot on pedal. Released some oil out a rear bleeder and came right.
Brake light came on a day or so later sitting in garage.
Went round all brakes, bled them all and now brakes still work but needs about 1/2 pedal to engage. Previous approx 1/4 pedal travel for brake engagement.
My thinking is time for MC replace rebuild. Pedal travel has not been adjusted.
Thoughts, suggestions?
