Re: Spongy Brakes
Cylinders are a 48-51 Ford 1 1/8" and 1" on the front and 1" on the rear. Yes, I purchased one new front cylinder, and I rebuilt the other three. Since I can pinch off the line, I believe the problem is from the wheel cylinder to drum -- no other place to look. Since I can manually lock the shoes, that only leaves the cylinder. So, I can pull the cylinder and inspect it, but what am I looking to discover? It's not leaking. Ford made a 1 1/8" bored MC. Would that help? In 1968, they made an 1 1/4" bored, twin cylinder. Maybe that would work better. The web sites don't provide specs, so I can't tell what will fit my set up. It appears that more fluid volume would solve the issue, but why is one wheel so far out of specs than the other three? Thanks
