basically i have 4 master cylinder, all girling.
front brakes, back brakes, clutch and handbrake.

hand brake is in the car with the resevoir fitted directly to it,
the other 3 are off the pdeal box with remoetly fitted resevoirs above them.

the handbrake is T'd into the rear system.

when i top up the rear brake resevoir in the engine bay, the fluid just fills up the handbrake pot (with the handbrake released) but if i pull the handbrake up this stops.

but if i pump the handbrake it fills up the brake resevior in the engine bay, it doesnt lock the brakes on

any1 know what ive done wrong?
lol

 

the handbrake cylinder does not have reservoir pal, youve piped it up wrong. unless im guessing wrong and your using handbrake release on an ffd ?


you need to put the feed pipe from your rear master cylinder into the back of the handbrake cylinder (where the reservoir would go) then the out pipe from teh cylinder must then go to the rear brake then 't' off to each side


hth

 

bugger
cheers m8, as usual i have bought more parts than i needed, now i gotta buy different stuff to fix it

how easy is it to bleed once fitted?

 

just bleed as normal, unless you have some serious height to the handbrake cyl you will have no probs

 

cheers
