I agree, the way they looped > that connector pipe would create a hard to remove air from air pocket. I really don't think looping the line one way or the other will make any difference. Either way it's uphill on one side and downhill on the other; they've just traded sides. There's really no problem in running a line downhill. If the tube is small enough, and brake tubing is CHOSEN so it is small enough, then the velocity of the fluid will carry bubbles downstream. If it were otherwise, how would we ever be able to bleed any normal brake system where the MC is mounted high on the firewall and all the lines leave it and immediately run downhill for about 2 feet? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
