Subject:Interesting Thing About My Brakes....
From:J Stewart

I've had my '85 Westy a little over two years now, and when I first bought it the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I did a complete brake job including fluid flush, and the pedal got a lot better, but never as firm as I'd like it to be (and not like my other Westys) Since I have a company vehicle the Westy gets weekend use only. Well, do to a labor dispute at work, the company vehicles are now parked at my office, and I have to drive 60 miles round trip every day to/from my office. Since the Westy is now getting daily use, the pedal has gotten a lot firmer. What does this mean? I'd always assumed a new master cylinder was not far off in the future... Jeff
