Dave1958 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hi Now managed to rebuild the brake system on my 79 2.0s However I noticed that there is some sort of valve or fitting tapped into the body of the equalisation valve on the bulkhead side .Its a bit like a recessed hex fitting with what resembled a valve stem partially sticking out . i wiped out all the grime to notice a rubber seal that had disintegrated . Please tell me this is not a moving part that now needs a rebuild or alternatively will lead to brake failure . I have left the brake pressed on for a while and the calipers and drums lock off ok and release when you depress the pedal . None of the new unions leak so all is good . However is there going to be a problem with the brake equaliser and this rubber seal . Is it a moving part and do I need a new seal that probably isn’t available ? Anybody know the answer ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 hi. no its not a moving part or one that you should try to touch but they do tend to leak there. if yours is not then all is fine.if it does then the later manta 82 ish onwards have a better designed valve that doesnt leak !
