Garage / Re: What a cluster
« Last post by Bryan Boyle on Today at 06:50:13 PM »Got the new Spitfire .70 MC plumbed in…bench bled…EZBleed the whole system and flushed 1 qt of new DOT3 fluid through. Kept bleeding till the new fluid ran clear…no bubbles.
Thinking the whole fluid dynamics thing…I've probably 1.5” of travel with the .7 MC. I'd like the pedal higher a bit. Now that I’ve got standard SAE fittings…may try a .75 and see if that gives me higher pedal. Of course, have to adjust rear brakes, too.
In any case, going to send out my S2 MC and the one I just took off anyway. I actually liked the original MC even sans boosters. Only issue is now since I trimmed back the feed lines so I could put the jumpers in for the other side ports…if I do put the original back in…well, cross that bridge when or if it shows up.
Took out for a ride...seemed ok (if a bit more travel on the pedal)...and 8 hours later, no drips on the garage floor and the fluid level is still where it was when I took the EZBleed cap off. Need to reinstall the chassis close plate (since it does provide the ground for the blinkers, rad fan, and who knows what else...
Off (maybe?) to the next project.
