Stopping Power


There was a little bit of brake work that needed to be done after our first powered move test. One of the brake drum cylinders was leaking fluid. We pulled it all apart, and replaced it with a new one.










Once that was done, we bled the brakes again, and refilled all the brake fluid.













Here's some pics of the master cylinder. We drained out the old fluid, and then had to run brake clean fluid into the cylinder and pump the brakes to wash out the dried up dot 3 goo that accumulated as the old fluid evaporated over the years.

Here it is with lots of brake clean in it, waiting to get washed out.
