Fellow Europaphiles,
I have started a new album on my site: "Brake Reservoir Study." So
far, there are 4 pics of the ACS brake reservoir with some descriptive
text.
Next step will be to identify the following elements:
1. Fitting to screw into the bottom of the reservoir to attach a hose.
2. Hose
3. Fitting to screw into the fill-hole of the master cylinder to which
the other end of the hose will attach.
4. Some sort of check valve to go in the system somewhere to enable
the brake master to generate the pressure necessary to function rather
than just squirt brake fluid back into the reservoir.
Any ideas or suggestions are welcome!
Check six,
Bob Borger

Graham,
Yes, I believe it was Jim Naylor who made the first comment on the
necessity of a check valve in the system.
