This is probably the reason I have little to no heat coming into the car. Both sides looked like slinkies. New order for 914 Rubber!
 I also noticed my rear brake valve has been replaced. I won a used one on ebay and I'll be shipping it off to PMB to have it rebuilt. Then at some point in the future, I'll be installing it back into the car.  |

I'VE MOVED!!! I am now living in the great state of PA, Downingtown to be exact. I drove the 914 down, it ran great and gave me no troubles. If there are any locals that want to meet up for a coffee or go for a ride on the weekends, hit me up.
I lost my brake pedal after the car was sitting while I was waiting for the PA Antique Plate. I contacted the PO to get info on the somewhat newly installed master cylinder. He stated it was n.o.s. and suspected the rear caliper pad adjustment going out of spec from the long car ride from MA to PA. My plan of attack was to bleed the system first. That didn't work. I then removed the front and rear lines on the mc, and plugged the outlets to isolate it. It wasn't leaking fluid anywhere, and when the pedal was pressed it made a squishing sound. Repeated pumps would not build up pressure. I got another n.o.s. mc at Hershey (thank you Peter if you're on here!!!), installed it and it worked. So an internal failure on the mc? Old seals dried out while it was sitting on the shelf? It's been replaced and when 914Rubber releases their mc, I'll be buying one of those as a spare. |

There do seem to be some bad master cylinders out there ( both from URO and ATE). A member (mikey914?) is having some made in the USA that should prove more reliable.
