I am going to be working on the brakes on a 1972 1.7 that has not been driven in 25 years or so. I have rebuilt calipers front and back, and the rotors look good. May just need to be surfaced. My biggest question is the master cylinder. Do you think it will hold pressure after 25 years of sitting around. Can they be rebuilt? Or should I just replace it? If I do replace it, do you have recommendation on a model / manufacturer.
Any luck would be appreciated. Steve |
