Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 master brake cylinder rebuild

[Jeff Greenfield (coyote]

Personally, I haven't had much luck rebuilding master cylinders (or with
rebuilt masters for that matter) so, unless the master in question is truly
unavailable I prefer to replace with new.

The symptom you describe is typical of a master whose internal seals are
starting to leak.

Good Luck,

Jeff

The symptom is that when stopped at a light and slightly pressing the pedal,
it starts to "give" about 30 seconds later, but not always. Pressing it
firmly solves the problem, and never had a problem while braking normally,
but better safe than sorry ....
So yes, my guess is that it is starting to leak internally

Besides, I might have a track day at Estoril next June 30th !! I'd like to
be sure my brakes are OK .... :-|
