[Mgs] simple question

[David Smittle]

Regarding the original question, no, it won't affect the clutch. There are
different pistons for brake vs clutch in the shared master cylinder.
Depressing the clutch petal will simply use fluid from the reservoir and
activate the slave cylinder (or, at least it should, lol) irregardless if
the brakes have been bled yet or not.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your project!

Dave
