[Spridgets] Linda's disc brakes

[Rick Fisk]

I always leave the cap on the master (it's vented).  If you leave the cap off you sometimes will get brake fluid splashing out causing a big mess when you pump hard.  If the cap is plugged your brakes won't work anyways as the vent is essential for proper operation of the master.

The cap is vented to atmosphere but if there is dirt restricting the vent function , with the cap in place when using a vacume type bleeder , literally you'd get next to nothing.
