Maybe it makes it more likely that trapped air bubbles in those volumes will find their way out during bleeding, but that's just a guess. > I checked my spare MC, and you are right.

Did your M10 x 1 tap feel "looser" when it started in the switch ports? Mine didn't seem to; it was equally snug from start to bottom in all five ports. Do you have an actual M10 taper pipe tap? I don't. The US 1/8" NPT thread is very close to this size, but it's actually different. That doesn't explain why the tapered tap would fit differently in the different ports, however. There's also a British BSP tapered pipe thread which is yet another system. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
