Update - we replaced the one 90* on the left caliper, drained the lines and replaced the seal under the master cylinder resiviour (another leak there).
We were told that the master cylinder was from a VW, and too big as this carriage has 2 wheel _not_ four wheel brakes, the plastic lines were the same as used for refrigerator ice makers, and that the rod connecting the brake pedal to the master cylinder piston was too long.
Huh.
There must be (somewhere?) a hydraulic cylinder list for generics that lists them by bore and stroke?
Could that tubing actually be the refrigerator ice maker variety? I could not find any labeling on the tubing. And if we're going to have to replace it then I'll be urging my DW to choose black tubing instead of the clear.
As to the linkage (excessive piston stroke) I don't see how we could effect a change there without modifying the pivots.
