std metro/era front/rear brake adjuster
Turbo Mini Forums

Hello

i have a problem with my std brake adjuster. I was trying to solve a brake fluid leakage ad the adjuster.
when i opend it up i saw there was nothing in it.
is this ok? no spring or someting just a tube??

this one comes with my engine and brakes when i bought it and don´t now the history of it.
maybe the other owner pulled something out?



ad the arrow.... does it need a copper ring over there?



inside




If there some parts missing is it worthwhile to fix it? or is it best to replace it with something else?
Never seen this one for sale at any mini parts shop..


many questions! i now... i´ll hope someone can help me out here.
regards vincent

That looks like the bit that goes of the master cylinder to the rear brakes on a metro. May have an old one throwing round that I could sacrifice.

I've done some searching on the web myself and found this picture from a pressure reducing valve



Then i went to my garage to see of i can find the missing parts. And i found them.



Only the rubber O rings are dry out
Or gone. So can't use this one anymore

So what is best to do next? Take this one out and put in a adjustable one?

Replace the o rings?

thats the most easy thing to do. but can i use any rubber ring that fits? i could give it a try!

That would be my plan.
