I used a type of Teflon that took all the play out of the Ball-joint! The Brake Line must have gotten a ding from something! Will report back tomorrow!

Checked all the lines and each caliper! Checked the original calipers and I was able to put a new seal in the left caliper and all the dust covers. No leaks found. All four wheels brake properly. The Later model Rekord caliper is for a 14" Rotor and restricted the turning circle and is now on my shelf!!. Now need to finish the bleeding! Still some air in the system!

Glad the brakes are sorted Oom
Re: 1965/66 Opel Rekord L Rally GMSA
Oom Johann it is time to move to Amanzimtoti. I will keep you very busy!!
The same time you can walk everyday on the beach.
I will also feed your dogs and wash your car.
Rassie.

Re: 1965/66 Opel Rekord L Rally GMSA
Hullo Rassie! Die linker voor wiel het gelek omdat die twee kante van links en regter Calipers nie met mekaar pas nie! Het die lek stop gesit. Ek het twee stelle calipers en deurmekaar geraak! Die seels tussen die kante het my laat sukkel! Ek sukkel nog steeds! Die regter voor wiel lek ook nou en ek sal dit Maandag los maak!! Het ook al die geel verf verwyder! Was net 'n gemors!
Wat Toti betref sal ek baie graag will maar die storms is 'n bietjie rof!!
Re: 1965/66 Opel Rekord L Rally GMSA
Wat is verkeerd? What is wrong if I pump the brakes and they take but the brake pedal will not stay up? I am at my wits end! No leaks in the system! The previous Ingenar place a piece of bolt in the master cylinder causing the rear brakes to lock! The master cylinder applies pressure but will not maintain the pressure! Any thoughts? My budget is limited! It happened some year ago, but I can't remember what I did!!
Re: 1965/66 Opel Rekord L Rally GMSA
Sounds like the seals in the master cylinder are gone?
