*Sticky request* check you brake lines!

Post by silverbullet »

Having recently renewed the front brakes entirely and fitted braided flexis, I went to move the 1986 syncro project and the hard line to the rears let go, due to corrosion (leak on top side of pipe).

Pedal sank to the floor but I was at parking speed, not out on the open road. So now ALL the 30 year old brake lines are all up for replacement before it can go to the restorer. Most tiresome...

Dont leave it until its too late, these vans and buses are now all well past their design life.
