The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Bleeding brakes-pedal pressure problem. Could use some advice/suggestions

Hey PM Glenn! Early this afternoon, wifey brought soem "You-Tube" viedos showing "how to mount", "how to adjust", and abunch of other interisting tid-bits up on the TV

The main topic on here of where the residual valves were located, was in the MC. You come along and show pictures of these long looking valves. I am trying to picture how those long S ah B's go into the MC ports! Well, I think that they must screw into the MC ports and the brake line screws into them! All that sticking out from the MC 3" or so.

See, remember, I have NO knowledge of these residual valves, and why this is all a shock to me, since swapping brakes around from the very early '70's!

The one video shows those valves mounted IN LINE on the brake lines! Ah, so THAT is how they go! I understand now! (actual mental relief) They said the 2 psi valves are for disc brakes, and the 10 pounders go for drum brakes.

Another one of those videos said that the smaller MC bore, the more pressure, the bigger the MC bore the more volume. Didn't know that. They used a math formula to figgure of whitch MC bore to the pedal ratio to use. All that math 'siphern is way above my 6 remaining "brane sells." I can do fractions in my head, but that is it.

Another one of those videos, guy was talking about what size and what kind of tubing to use for brake lines. The one guy said that one can't use stainless steel for brake lines, because they are too hard (brittle) to bend or double flair. I bent and double flaired all of mine! A machinest showed me a little trick in the '90's to use when double flairing stainless with a regular tubing flairing tool that has the double flair dies. Oh well.

Now, none of those videos showed EXACTLY where to place those residual valves in corrlation of the MC! Close as possible? Anywhere there is a long enough straight-a-way? Do both valves have to be the same distance from something? MC, wheel cly, first bend?

Then I get on here a little bit ago, and see where you posted your pictures. Wish you would have posted those pictures earlier. I wouldn't have had so much of a shock attack on something i know nothing about.
