Hydraulic Brakes went out!

[soonersace]

So I’m planning on a Route 66 journey later this fall in my 34 cabriolet so earlier this week I took a 300 mile trip to see how she would do! Car ran great- no complaints but my brakes pulled a little to the right by the end of the trip. I thought I just needed to adjust.

Yesterday I went to the car club breakfast and on my way home the brakes went to the floor with no stop- my emergency brake saved me and I limped home.

Driver side cylinder is bad- I’m assuming it was leaking Tuesday which is why my car probably pulled when I was braking.

Here are my questions- does anyone have a good vendor for parts.

I’m still trying to totally determine if my hub is a 48 hub or a 34 or a 36 or whatever. I did get some seals to replace as my hubs didn’t have them… or the wire wheel spacers-which I have added.

Thompson’s garage has a rebuild kit. But they have a 39-42 rebuild kit and a 46-48 kit- if you have any suggestion of which one to buy I’d appreciate it.





With all that in mind… I should probably update to a dual master cylinder to avoid ALL of the brakes going out next time… here is the current rig I have set up- any one know of a good version to replace it with?



I look forward to to your opinions-
