Hey all,
I have a major problem with my brakes since I disconected the master cylinder from the Booster to fit my header's. I also removed the steel band from around the booster in an attempt to give me extra clearance. I have since refitted the steel band and it look's OK. I then refitted the Master Cylinder in the same way it came off.
When everything was back together again I went for a short drive and now have no brakes. I still have a good pedal so I know no lines have been ruptured, I only get a momentery power brake effort before I have to realy lean on the pedal to get me to stop.
I have inspected the rubber seal for any tear's and cant see any. I have also removed the vacuum hose from the Inlet Manifold and gave it a suck. There is no vacuum but it is realy had to suck through. The only thing I can think of is the foam filter that sat between the master cylinder and the plastic clip disintigrated when I removed the master cylinder? Any idea's would be much appreciated.
