My latest '75 model from Oregon came to me in parts, but mostly complete. I built a 2056 with Elgin cam and twin Weber 40 IDF's and am quite happy with the results. She has a decent kick and gets 30+ mpg cruising over 70 mph. One rear caliper was missing, but I had a newly rebuilt one and changed it out. I used my shop air with about 5 psi to bleed and it worked for the most part. My pedal is about 80% of where I would like it.
Q: where is the brake fluid going? I recently sold my 356SC that had the same issue, but it had a drip in the rear circuit. This time I cannot see leakage anywhere thanks |

Thanks guys, at some point it must reach the ground, nothing yet Negative Well - I guess when the floor pan is sufficiently full with 10 or 20 gallons of fluid it might start weeping out to the ground somewhere. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Check pedal box under the plywood close out ASAP. Carpet absorbs the fluid. Likewise, the brake fluid then destroys the floor pan paint, leads to rust. Generally it’s a giant mess and a PITA to clean up. |
