Gang,
Last weekend was lots of fun. (Mind you my fingers aren't laughing.) After
spending the Saturday running around looking for bits for my car and others
(Benjie, no luck on a bulkhead yet!), I happened to come across a brand new
Master Brake cylinder. Hell, the guy only wanted what I thought was
reasonable figure. Not that dad was too happy as we only really wanted a
bucket kit for the one we had.
Anyway, got home and started to install it. Cool everything looks good. Now
to bleed the brakes. Which valve to use? On the front disc brakes, ('73
Squareback) there are two bleeder valves. One on top and one on bottom. On
the front right (right hand drive car) I used the top one and didn't worry
about the bottom one. On the front left, I used the bottom one (top one had
been butchered). Should both of these be bled. Brakes seem to be working
fine when finished and the next day when we went back to do the handbrake
cable they were still ok. One of the books I read (Yes, have Idiot guide but
not with me when doing car) said there is two pistons in front brake calipers.
Does this mean one valve per piston?
Anyone got any advice on this. Car yet to be road tested due to lack of power
out back. (There IS no engine!!) Your thoughts almightly gurus of the Type 3
world.

Wayne
