It will be interesting to see how this comes out; I'd hate to lose my Speed-Bleeders. |

This has been a very instructive thread for me. Thank you Phil...even though we haven't solved your problem yet!! I went out to my shop and checked the spare pair of speed bleeders I keep as a reserve. They are Dorman...made in China. I've had two failures with these. Am throwing out my spares and buying some "Made in the USA"....betting these won't fail!! |

Re: Hydraulic Brakes 39 Ford.
I think it's time to rebuild the MC.

Re: Hydraulic Brakes 39 Ford.
I had a similar problem on my '53 after changing the brake light pressure switch out three times from a shiny looking one to an old crusty one, now my brake lights are only on when I press the pedal. Just goes to show just because it's shiny doesn't mean it's good

Re: Hydraulic Brakes 39 Ford.
Update:
Just replaced the original M/C with a new one. This has fixed the problem. The new one has the smaller screw in top with a vent . Speed bleeders are ok. Appreciate all advice. Phil NZ |

Re: Hydraulic Brakes 39 Ford.
A "Speed-Bleeder" is a replacement bleeder screw with a check valve inside of it. It will let the brake fluid out but not back in. They are a boon to those of us who do not have a "cooperative other" to pump the brakes for us; they allow one person bleeding of the brake system. Here's a link : http://www.speedbleeder.com/.
