Quick Brake MC question

Whaler · #1 (**permalink**) 10-21-2002, 06:54 PM

I have a tandem system brake MC. Its floor mounted with 2- 4 oz.remote reservoirs.
I received no info or manufacturer name with it when I got my half built roller.

Is the front most port to go to the front or back and ditto for the rear most port on the MC??

Thx Tim

It looks like this configuration, except it has remote reservoirs which are both equally sized.

Seeing as how I recieved no response to my question on my brake MC I thought I would post what a wilwood tech gave me today.......

"The port closest to the mounting flange has more volume, this would go the front brakes"

Now we all know

cheers

Right on Tim. Be sure to put a coil in the lines just below the MC when you install. Helps with air in the lines. You can and should also bleed the MC/reservoir line before hooking it up to the main brake lines.

Hi Al
Thanks for the response
I have the floor mounted pedals and MC. Because we are already down at the fllors frame there is not the greatest room for much except a very tight radius loop or loops.
Do you mean a single loop on the vertical plain at each port?
I will be mounting 2- 2# residual valves as well.
I always thought that the loop/s were for vibration sake?
How does the loop help out in the air aspect?

I am in the process of retubing the MC with emphasis on getting a firm pedal.

Thanks for the input

Tim
