Poor brakes with no feeling

[Charles P]

Having done several hydraulic brake conversions the MM master cyl is not suitable for a Seven apart from being cast iron and over weight its too big, we use a Girling alloy cyl 3/4" bore. the rear brakes are best setup as trailing (cyl handbrake levers at the rear pointing down) this stops the rear brakes locking under heavy braking. Silicon fluid prevents w/cyls seizing as well as silicon grease around the cyl pistons, std MM lining seem OK on 2 leading front setup you can lock the fronts or brake lightly in the wet there is plenty of feel.

I agree Terry. 
I have a 3/4 bore cylinder mounted on the rear cross member, actuated via a hefty bell crank mounted in the chassis member. The pedal pull rod works as normal and the crank arm converts this into a push on the master cylinder. A bonus is that you have some adjustment of leverage available via the postions that the rods connect with the arms of the bell crank.
