Re: Kanter Project: 1955 Caribbean out of long term storage

The BTV is now disassembled and has been assessed. Unfortunately over the years the seal between the vacuum side and the hydraulic side has failed and brake fluid leaked into the vacuum canister. This resulted in the can sustaining heavy pitting even after trying to hone it. It will need to be replaced and at the same time the master cylinder piston will be replaced with a brand new stainless steel one as the original one suffered the same pitting as the vacuum can.
