I was reading somewhere here about how difficult it is to get the tubes from the reservoir into the grommets on the master cylinder. I greased them up with caliper assembly lube and they slipped in as easy as a 50 year ol....well lets just say they went right in.

There are no washers. The incoming lines are flared and go into already installed rubber grommets.

Thanks @JLance67 Does not matter as long as the lines are not kinked. Thanks for the response. I have a 75 with the SB 350 conversion and am having trouble figuring out why my brakes are getting locked up after driving about 1-2 miles. I put a new mc on along with new caliper kit on the front 911 vented brakes. In the process of rebuilding back 914 brakes now. I cannot figure why in the world this is happening. I did have slight brake pad rubbing on the rears but very slight. Do I need a pressure regulator for the brakes? It's like they slowly apply until they completely lock like an E-brake. After sitting about an hour they release. Am totally stumped. |

Pedal misadjusted and/or blocked compensation port is likely cause when brakes begin dragging after heating up and will not release until they have cooled. @jlance67  You should have a pressure regulator for the rear brakes - has nothing to do with the brakes dragging but has everything to do with safety. I won’t go into the details - it has been covered extensively in other threads. It was put there to avoid rear brake bias which is dangerous. |
