Re: Master cylinder connections

Re: Disc brakes not performing.
Have you checked the clearance and setting of the actuating rod at the pedal? I have always found 2CV disc brakes to be extremely effective if set up correctly. On both my Pembletons I used to have the pump twice to make them work but adjusting the rod has always cured the problem as long as everyth...
