hello again, having looked at the master cylinder it requires replaceing: it is a 1981 mini pickup with drums all round, with a BLACK plastic identification band on it (type 2 tandem)
The only replacement is the type 3 tandem with the yellow ID tag. Haynes manual states that thie type 3 (1985 on) has a stepped bore and primary and secondary circuits have been reversed.
Does this mean if i retro fit a type 3 i have to put the top brake line to the bottom hole and the bottom to the top ?
if not please explain A) how to tell the primary and secondary circuits from looking at the master cylinder and B) which is primary - front or rear brakes?
I need to work on this quick as i wanted it MoT'd by end of month - all that is left is the excessive brake pedal movement - ie nearly to the floor. I realise it has no servo and the brakes are adjusted and good shoes etc.
any help most appreciated.
RS
