OK, ordered the 914Rubber MC. Thanks for the pressure bleeder offer, Tbrown4x4. I may take you up on it.

I didn't want to advertise only for Mike, but I bought his 19mm M/Cyl with the original fittings. I'm very happy with it. Best brakes I've had since I bought the car. (Also PMB caliper kits, hoses, and Porterfield pads.)
PM me if you need the bleeder. I can meet in Tukwila any evening or early morning. |

QUOTE(sdthomas @ Aug 11 2018, 03:11 PM)  The free play goes away once you push on the pedal. I checked it this morning and there was a little play in pedal. But it went away after using the brakes. When you say "free play", do you mean after the plunger in the MC is pushed or the free play in the pedal mechanism. The pedal mechanism is separate from the MC. Last year my brakes started sticking. I noticed the brake lights staying on. The problem was the pedal mechanism was binding. After applying some oil and penetrating fluid, the pedal mechanism loosened up and I've had no brake sticking issues since then. |

OK I'm ready to install my new MC. Removing the bolts from under the car seems easy enough but it's not clear to me how to detach the pedal rod from the cluster (or remove the rod from the old MC either). Is there a sequence to follow?

Is there a sequence to follow? The push rod sits in a cup in the m.c. When you remove thr m.c. The rod will come out. |
