Brakes

I received a parcel today from the USA containing new front brake cylinders. Isn't it amazing you can just purchase something like this online from eBay and a week or two later arrives on your doorstep.

I intend renovating all of the breaks on the car including new wheel cylinders, new brake linings, new brake lines and a restored the brake cylinder. I have all the parts I need, it is just a matter of some time and effort to restore the brakes.

The brakes on Pontiac currently do not work at all. When you put your foot on the brake pedal it goes all the way to the floor. I've have restored the master brake cylinder however when I went to bleed the brakes I discovered that the brake cylinders were also in a bit of a sad state. Because of the importance of having good and reliable brakes I have decided to completely overhaul all of the brake system. I have progressively been gathering the new parts needed to do this and now I have the front brake cylinders I think I have all the parts that I need. So over the next few months will dismantle and restore  the brakes with a view to having all of the system replaced or overhauled some time soon.
