Lubrication
There is one grease nipple on the handbrake compensating linkage which requires attention every
4,000 miles. A multi purpose grease should be used.
Bleeding the Braking System
If any item of the hydraulic system has been replaced or if air has entered the system, it must be
bled to restore proper working. This operation is fully described in the Dunlop booklet and the
instructions given should be carefully followed. It should be noted that Dunlop Disc Brake Fluid
was formerly known as Wakefield Crimson.
Servo
Note:
The tremendous braking power of the C-V8 stems partly from the fact that one of the chassis
tubes is used as a vacuum reservoir. It is therefore
imperative
that these are not drilled, otherwise
serious loss of braking power would result.
