brake help and residual valve help

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by model A hooligan, Apr 13, 2011.

  1. im building a juice brake setup with a speedway frame mounted master cyl. 40's front drums, 68 mustang rear drum.

    first off what way to the residual valves go in. they say MC-> im not sure if thats pointing towards the master or away, secondly im not getting anything out of the master. i noticed i installed both valves pinting the same way so i know one of them has to be the wrong direction just not sure wich

    The m/c points towards the master cylinder
     
  3. okay,thanks alot.

    any tips on getting the master to work? the front i have plumbed right. im going to re-route the rear valve right now.
     
  4. also wondering if it hurts to have a master with valves built in as well as the external ones. i tested the master with a paperclip. i cant realy tell, i just know the clip goes all the way in

    bleed the m/c at the line ports. i normally bench bleed them(easier). un hook lines and hold your thumb over hole and have some one pump brakes gently till you get straight fluid. wear i protection!
     
  6. thanks fred! i wasnt sure how to go about that, i can reach the master and the pedal with the door open so ill do that next step after i get one of my residual valves moved around pointing the correct way. off to the store to get more fittings.

    If there are RPVs in the M/C, I don't think it hurts if in-line valves are added as the residual pressure doesn't add up.
     
  8. i was wondering if it added up sonce they are 10 lbs if i ended up with 20 or so..

    got the front working. just trying to get the rear going now.
