Gunky Master Cylinder

Dan O'Reilly 4 February 2005 07:35:12
 Took a look inside my (drained) master cylinder today in my '66 coupe
that I'm restoring. In the bottom was a sort of black, syrup gunk
that I think is ancient brake fluid remnants. Is this something to
really worry about, provided I wipe it out thoroughly with a lintless
cloth and flush the brake system? The brakes seemed fine before I
started on the car.

Thanks!

 That may be adequate... after all, it's only your brakes and not something
really important....

If it were mine, I'd tend to go the other way.... overhaul assemblies, check
the metal lines close (they can and have rusted from the inside out) and
inspect the flex hoses real carefully. Ya gotta figure there's likely near
40 years of guck inside of there... Since you are restoring it, I would tend
to think restoring the brake system would be pretty high on the list.
