Default Re: 1940 Ford Brake Bleeding Problem

Morning guys.....

I used DOT 3 for the fluid and no silicone used. I just had to make sure that the lines didn't leak at all and that has been done. I bought and waiting for a Motive Products Pressure Bleeder and it should be here this week. I then have to make up a plug with air connect fitting to seal up the Master Cylinder. We'll see if that works better. I'm only going to do this once and don't plan on ever going through this again. Started last September !!!

Hope...I'm going on 80 years old next year, so this is my last brake rodeo on a '40 Ford.

I'll let you know how the Motive Unit works out. It may be a couple weeks though.

I have brakes, but too spongy to really feel comfortable.

Later...thx Mike
