By contrast, I've installed three and never had any trouble with them.

Worthwhile mod in your opinion?

I like em. They are lighter and the MP units have a built in bias that you can select to aid in balancing brake pressure to the front or rear. I've always used the 69/31 split units and have typically had very good results. Plus I think they are better looking than rusty cast iron.

Whats keeping the plastic shavings from going into the small orifices in the master cylinder though? Be careful!

 Yep, I thought about that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sucked out the fluid with a tube,pulled off the reservoir its only on rubbers, flattened off
            the two necks and refitted the reservoir and put in new brake fluid.

            going to a car show tomorrow,so we will see if it worked !              :bigsmile:

  Well Goody,   Might have to take you up on your kind offer my friend !

                The caps still leak out brake fluid after flatting off the necks.  Looking at the caps, they are only made of thin plastic and they are warped. I think this is because they don't have a thread as such inside them...........there are just 3
 tangs spaced evenly around the inside of the cap,not a good idea!

    So,if you could find some caps for me Goody i would really appreciate it,metal ones would be best(or thick plastic at least)

                                                Regards, CUDANEIL              :bigsmile:

I can get you all the caps you need if you are willing to buy shipping? Via paypal or the like. Might as well grab a couple sets to make sure you get the best shot at getting it sealed up.

                        SOUNDS GOOD TO ME !!! :cheers:

I have only three, maybe four of them around now. PM an address and I'll see what shipping such a small thing costs.
