Plenty of room through my wheels
 Sounds like a plan. How do I get a hold of you?

Kevin, not to scare you, but when was the last time the bleeders were loosened on your calipers? Or are they relatively new calipers? Nothing can spoil your day faster than caliper bleeders snapping off (except for perhaps exhaust manifold bolts breaking off in the head).

That's what my '84 autocross machine could use. No real rush, as my clutch works, but if we had a chance to get together before the big day Saturday...

I agree with Patrick, hense why I suggest to come to your place, and if we need to remove a wheel as brake fluid on nice rims is not a good idea either...we need a sheltered spot, we'll chat:)

I will check them as soon as I get a chance. I think I already did last summer but will confirm. |

Sorry Brian, I've been away from my phone (and messages) the last few days while teen and dog-sitting at Anne's place while she was in Kelowna for a reunion. I'll be in touch Tuesday!

Brian was up bright and early today and got his clutch hydraulics done before I was able to go over. Now that he's perfected the technique

Okay, I've now got groovy blue fluid in my brake and my clutch hydraulic systems. Thanks Brian!

Groovy. Do you notice a difference with the different fluid (vs. DOT3)? I have to do something with my front brakes soon.

I don't think under normal driving that any difference would be felt. The blue brake fluid has a higher boiling point however, so under prolonged intense braking, there might indeed be less "fade" with hot brakes. Having said that, I did feel a difference when the blue brake fluid was added to my brake hydraulics. Reason being was that I probably had a pocket of air trapped in the system somewhere and Brian's power bleeder pushed it all out. The blue color of the fluid greatly helps to determine when all the old fluid (clear and/or dirty) has been flushed.

Brian I may take you up on your offer of a bleeding day. How would you feel about doing the brakes on 3 cars and the clutch on 2 cars. These cars are all working, but could use some improvment.
