Re: 4AD Singer Bleeding Brakes
Hi Lois .. yes the first photo looks good, it is a 4 AB fully restored, but not to factory specification, I believe it has a Datsun gearbox, and a lot of other non Singer additions to the car, suspension, motor, interior seats etc .. But from the outside no one would know .. Good luck with your rest...

Re: 4AD Singer Bleeding Brakes
Did not make any difference .. so will just have to live with a spongy brake pedal and hope the air in the system will work it's way up to the bleeder nipples.
As Pekka said ,.. maybe after running around in the car for a few months it may sort itself out ..

Re: 4AD Singer Bleeding Brakes
Hi Lois, Thank you, I disconnected the rod to the back brakes just in front of the rear axle, ( as suggested) and re-bled the brakes .. with the rear brake rod disconnected I found that the brake pedal went straight to the floor and no amount of pumping or bleeding would make a pedal, so we bled the...

Re: Water Pump Seals

Once again thank you for your he...
