Re: Brake questions
Marlin:
DOT 5? Is that synthetic? We tried some synthetic fluid, but I was thinking it was DOT 4...we never could get a good pedal, even after using a pump on it.

Re: Brake questions
Bob;
That's the guy, I got the car you got the 1/4's - good deal all the way around! He didn't want to break up the car/qtr's until I pointed out that they don't go together - '69 car with '70 qtrs. Everything on the Yenko Novas is ordinary '70 power disc stuff. You have to stick with '70 though, '69's and '71 power disc items/configuration is different. Rob; I used the DOT5 silicone based fluid. I had trouble getting a pedal, until a mechanic friend pointed out that I had the calipers on the wrong sides. The bleeders were pointing down instead of up, trapping air, wups [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Once I got that problem figured out, everything has been fine. I have a strong pedal, and the car stops, that's about all I can ask for [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] (If I could keep the brake dust from getting my rims all grimy, I'd be thrilled!)
