MG MGB Technical - BRAKE PRESSURE

Is there a way to measure the pressure of the brake fluid out of the master cylinder? If so, what should the pressure be for the front and for the rear brakes?
William Webb

None unless you install a pressure gauge in the line which I certainly wouldn't want to do. Furthermore I don't see what benefit it could possibly give.
Iain MacKintosh

William,

Kits are available and can be used for diagnostic or say setting front/rear bias. Hovever the pressure is only part of equation to arrive at brake torque. The key feature of braking system is tyre grip.
