Does your frog already has a 5 speed?
If not how about swopping it from the Austin?

My money is on the little short operating piston in the booster--they rust up and stick--moisture gets sucked in through the filter on the booster--they all do it eventually

The servo reservoir will hold the vacuum for some time which could explain 5. With mine (both when I had two) I have to pump about half a dozen times with the engine off to 'empty' it, with the servo (I presume) clanking progressively less each time and the pedal getting harder, but not as hard as when the brakes are applied.

Ron,

I would never use an electronic fuel pump ever again, I had 2 fail on me two months out of warranty, while traveling. I always go direct to SUcarb (Burlen Services) in the UK for carb and fuel pumps. The correct fuel pump is AZX1331 and is 144pounds or US$197 plus freight for the points version, unfortunately out of stock at the moment. The electronic one is 21pounds more if you must, ...

Hi Jud,
I jacked all four wheels previously to check and they were all locked, so I just got the front nearside in the air for now.

Its partly having the two cars. I'm not planning on giving up both! And its not about my fitness either. Well that's not entirely true. Its just tge knowledge that I need to get rid of stuff and preferably when it is still within my decision making to do so.

I started this thread hoping that someone had done some vendor research specific to the TF.
Apparently, this was not done and is not in the archives. The recommendations here are useful and I thank those that replied, but I decided to do some research myself.

The SU pump from Moss would obviously be appropriate, but it is around $450 plus tax and shipping.

British Parts Nor...

Thats what i did big mistake do not do it whish i still had mine i miss the good times

You're saying singular "front wheel." Is it just one wheel or are both front wheels locked? If just one, I wonder if the hydraulics are OK but the flex hose to the caliper is constricted. That may have already ben suggested and eliminated but I can't remember so just checking.

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. However the pedal pressure is much lighter than some of the 9-spring clutches I have used.
