Paras bus resto

Discussion in 'Restorations' started by paradox, Aug 10, 2011.

  1. How can there be rust inside the wheel arches, the bus hasn't been on the road yet to have stuff sparayed up inside.
    Coming on :thumbsup:

  2. There's plenty of cavity wax in the void between the two panels and underseal in the arch tub.
    So hopefully that should help stave off corrosion once it is on the road

  4. I've stripped and cleaned up the brake master cylinder.
    It all seemed fine if a little gunked up inside.
    I'll paint it and build it back up.

  6. Did you get a rebuild kit for it as i've found the seals don't like being reused once its apart been as they tend to leak. :(
     
  7. I haven't found a rebuild kit
    Fingers crossed it will be fine when reassembled as the seals look in good condition.
     
  8. Good luck.

  12. It's the rubber seal where the vacuum line connects to the brake servo

    There are two of the same seals in the pipe between master cylinder reservoir and the top reservoir

  19. Checked that and it's in good condition and tight.

    I've painted the cylinder and need to get some silicone brake grease so I can reassemble it.
