Soft brakes after changing wheel cylinders.

Keep a careful eye on it. Often the piston and seal abrasion from full-stroke bleeding as described above will not immediately fail the MC, but it will fail soon thereafter. With the pre-'67 single-pot master, your margin for "oops" on this is basically zero. Best go ahead and buy at least a new master cylinder (better: the parts to retrofit to dual master) now, so you will have them right at hand when, sooner than later, you need them.


Yes, absolutely agree here. I want to replace with a dual master, but i'm not sure where to start. Is there a good thread or walk thru so i know what i'll actually be getting myself into?
