#1 Kelsey Hayes bellows
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2016 9:09 pm
Hi everyone,
I noticed recently that my E Type is idling rough when stopped with the brakes applied. When lifting off the brake pedal the idle returns to normal. Inspecting the bellows on the Kelsey Hayes booster I noticed there is a small split in the top which I presume is the problem. I might try a temporary seal with some tape or the like to see if this resolves the leak and subsequent rough idle. Has anyone done a refurb of their unit and if so is it a straight forward removal/overhaul. The brakes have always worked well so perhaps just a replacement of the bellows would suffice. I notice SNGB have the bellows listed as a seperate part.
Regards,
Pete
