Re: (T3) Q & A


Ralph- Sears has long pattern 10mm open end wrenches (MUCH cheaper than Mac 
or Snap-on)

T3'r who had no fluid in lines-did you bench bleed (prime) the master before 
you installed it? If not you can use a "mity vac" unit to siphon brake fluid 
through the hydraulics...
(It's a small hand pump that lets you bleed a system w/out help(even though 
the lines may be switched,they should still pump BF) It IS OK to set MC 
plunger travel using only the locknuts on the shaft-just make sure the pedal 
returns firmly on the stop bracket on the floor.(check bushings & bolts on 
the pedal cluster)

Carrie-this is sort of an exotic item but if you have access to a "borescope" 
you can insert it into the heater vents & check out how bad the rust might be 
in the rocker panels....(toughest places on our cars to repair properly)(used 
one when we did our Rolls Royce/Delahaye restorations)(VERY cool!)
 
I disagree about our Ebrakes-adjusted properly they will hold the car solid 
even on the steepest hills(it's not at all hard to do)

Cheers.
