I don't know about the square bodied cars, but my MC is level when the car is sitting level. How would you be expected to "top it off" if it sat on an angle? Does your driver's handbook say to park o

Yes, you would have the combined clutch and brake master, as in my '65 Sprite and you are quite correct that it is level. I spouted off with the image of my '67 Midget hydraulics in mind, and yes, it

Hey Mike! I don't believe that the reservoir does sit level, but I have not investigated the innards. A more level reservoir is the goal, as I understand it. I could take a photo and post it or draw

I don't know about ounces, but I approximate that you get an extra coupla pumps before you have to pull your head out of the footwell to top up again. Obviously, it is of no concern to you with your

I don't think that the manual says anything special about it. I heard the suggestion on the list and made my own observances about it. If you or I were designing this MC to be installed like this, we

The whole point to lifting the back of the car was so the -SLAVE- cylinder would sit at a better angle for bleeding. Someone, I don't remember who, came up with it because he had trouble with air tra

I guess that this one also only applies to some slave cylinders? Correct me if I am wrong, but some have the bleeders pointing to the back, while some have bleeders on the top. Robert D. --Original M

Hello conan, That was me with a 77 Spitfidget. The bleeder screw is at the top and the back of the cylinder but I had the front of the car about 2.5 feet in the air. This led to what I believed was s

When They said Air pressure, I don't think they meant 60 psi from the end of your air hose. I've used my "mighty-vac" vacuum pump with the hoses reversed to gently put a couple of pounds of pressure
