Hi, me again! I'm a bit confused im sorry to say :o I read in an old general car manual that in order to adjust the tappets of a car you take off the rocker cover loosen the locknut and adjust the tappets to the correct clearance with a screw driver by aid of a feeler gauge (as in the image ive uplo...

Problem finally solved! Took it to a GOOD garage and they thoguth it was master cylinder, no change
After ages looking into it they found one of the front shoes had worn on an edge and was no longer completely semi circular, so the adjusters weren't doing anything!
A small spacer in and job done

hi again. Ive had the brake pipe changed and adjusted all the brakes, the front one was quite out. I think the brakes are a bit better but they still seem bad to me, pedal right to the floor alot of the time. The garage said i had no leaks and had bled the system and the guy i bought the car off put...

Well ive had a great couple hours. Was adjusting shoes like advised and notice that dam brake pipe was still leaking so i took it to bits to see if there was any obivous damge and the bloody copper pipe snapped as i was putting it back on, garage job now

A friend with a moggie mentioned the 8''upgrade. Ive looked again at the brakes and think air must be getting in as the passenger side front brake pipe is leaking from where the flexi meets the copper brake pipe. Ive tightened both the nuts as much as they will go so hopefully that will stop the lea...

thanks for that, that sounds very helpful to me, i will have a look at adjusting them. Might try front disc upgrade in time

Hi all Ive only just joined the moggie world so forgive my ignorance! Ive bought me a 1959 Morris 1000 and am concerned about the brakes. They feel very spongy and dont really grip until the 2nd pump. They are the standard all round drum. The guy i bought it off said hed replaced the slaves and mast...
