More Berringer photos and a question
Bought the Berringer wheel and brakes (PIC & PAX) kit just over a year ago. Just now getting ready to install the fluid lines.
Yesterday I laid out the parts other than the master cylinders and wheels.
The dual station install requires 14 of the banjos and bolts; I received ten.
Today I spoke with Vivienne and she is shipping the missing four sets tomorrow. Great customer service.
The fluid reservoirs are mounted on a channel tray fabbed from .032 stock.
There is a small dam forward of the reservoirs.
It is intended that any overflow during filling/bleeding will flow to the aft end of the channel where it can be caught.
The master cylinder hose fittings face forward on this install.
I want the hoses out of the way of my big feet.
In a previous post it was cautioned that the master cylinders needed to be horizontal during bleeding to get all air out of the system.
Have others found this to be true?
The left rudder cylinders can be made horizontal without detaching them from the pedals. The right side not so much.
If the pedals are pushed during bleeding, fully compressing the cylinders there is much less free space for trapped air.
Also, with the cylinders oriented springs up, the reservoir inlet is the upper connection on the cylinders.
Fluid pressured from the calipers during bleeding enters the bottom of the cylinders pushing air up and out through the reservoirs.
What have others experienced? Do I have to disassemble the right pedal/cylinder connection and make the cylinder horizontal?
