Since you have during your bleeding attempts, not seen fluid leaks dripping or pouring out of your brake drums, You are probably okay.

OH FECES! So, my (lack of 'pedal') problem "might" be Bob Drake's brake wheel clys are made in China, (by slave labor, using wheel clyinder cups make out of old "flip-flops" the slant,,,,,, orentials,,,,, have wore out) by a person who has a well used 6" machinest's scale!? When asked, how many 64ths are in an inch? They look at their scale, and in wide eyed bewilderment say, "man! They must be a million of 'em in there!"

GREAT! Just great! Shoulden't these places that knowenly sell this (50/50 chance of being defective) feces made in 3rd whorld countrys be ashamed!?

The residual valves you suggested, I ordered from Wilwood, will be here next week sometime. I'll make (section) new lines, get 'em installed. Hopefully, someone will be here on the week end to help me bleed, again........

I WILL post the results!
