Default M8

Hi MikeV,

Thanks for the kudos. I feel like I know the M8 braking system quite intimately now....

I just checked out your video. Great work by you and Brian. How did you get on with your brakes? Do they still have the original wheel cylinder piston setup?

I just stripped down the wheel cylinders on my M20 and they have been upgraded by a previous owner to the shorter pistons, full cups and spring, like I did on the M8. Like your M8 I will need to sleeve the master cylinder but I'm not sure what I will do with the wheel cylinders yet. I may get away with honing them.

I'll be interested in how you get on with the brakes on the M8.
