The 'brake system failure switch' on my '76 has got a leak. I've cleaned the device and it appears to be leaking where the electrical connection is made. I'd like to get rid of this block--it's a nuisance. In an earlier post (http://fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=15914) Csaba recommended that when I replace this unit that I put in a new metal front left brake line. I've also purchased a new master cylinder and soft brake lines that I plan to install. Here's my plan:
1. Purchase and install a later model fluid reservoir which uses a float sensor on the cap. Anyone got one of these for sale?
2. Install the new MC (I understand that I should 'pre-fill' the new MC with fluid before installation to make bleeding easier).
3. Install new lines from the reservoir to the MC. Is it okay to use fuel line here?
4. Replace the front left brake line as Csaba recommends. Where can I source one of these lines? I know that NAPA has a selection of brake lines, will those work in this application?
5. Replace the front soft brake lines (there seems to be plenty of threads on how to do this on this forum)
6. Bleed the brakes and drive!
Question 1; Is this a good idea? Any recommendations or advice?
Question 2: I have 3 'hard' lines coming out of my MC. According to the diagram in this document [http://www.artigue.com/fiatcontent/serv ... /331-3.pdf], Line 3 goes to the rear, Line 2 goes to the front left and Line 1 goes to the front right wheel. Is this correct? Do I only need to replace the front left line?
Thanks to everyone for your help!
