    Brake booster motor gasket

    Hi guys, Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the gasket that goes between the brake booster motor and the pump itself? It's not a separate part on the booster motor diagrams. Curious what others have done when having their motors rebuilt? Cheers, Graham

    cathastrophic brake failure

    Hi everyone, If this should be in a separate post please let me know, figured it was good to keep similar info together in one thread but happy to move. Just had the brake booster motor die on the driveway at 190k miles a week before it's MOT. The least worst place to fail in fairness! No...

    ENV6 Brake Fluid

    It was my understanding that the higher the DOT number, the more hygroscopic, thus would absorb water faster necessitating more frequent changes. Is this not the case? The DOT 5.1 performance starts high, but would drop faster with age than DOT 3. Will aim for 2 year max replacement...

    ENV6 Brake Fluid

    Thanks for info and feedback, much appreciated, handbook says DOT 3. I'll run with DOT 5.1. Good advice on regular changes, no heavy use (well, apart from a smoking hot descent of Porlock Hill last year!). I gather from various sources that Dot 5.1 requires earlier replacement than Dot 4 which...

    ENV6 Brake Fluid

    Hi all, Has anyone used Bosch ENV6 brake fluid in their 'Cruisers? A little light googling seems suggest that it replaces pretty much everything (DOT 3, 4, & 5.1) and out performs them all. ENV6 Wet: 185 °C Dry: 270 °C Viscosity: 670 mm²/s DOT 5.1 Wet: 180 °C Dry: 260 °C Viscosity: 900 mm²/s...
