Brakes on...

The Dunlop brake calipers has a well known reputation for causing trouble, the get stuck if they are not used on regular basis.

The brake system on a Flaminia are just like the rest of the car over-enginered and have not but two main servos, and one would think that two are better than one, but they are pretty damn hard to bleed out, and they need a regular change of brake fluid.

When restoring the brake system, it´s a very good idea to use silicone brake fluid and even better change the brake cylinders with parts in stainless steel.

There are some companies who specialize making the brakecalipers and pistons in more modern and robust materials, and despite my "All original" mindset with this car, and can and will compromise on the brakesystem.

As my wife and I will use the car for long trips to the south of Europe, it would be stupid not to have propper brakes..
