grunta Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 dear oldschoolers! i have just up graded my vc to discs, ive a master cylender out of a ve ,vf ,vg , its been re sleaved re built etc , after nerumous bleeds i cant get a pedal! pretty much i got it back from mossrax the same way i dropped it to them (ie the lines in use were the same and the blocked ones were the same) just wondering if anyone knows which way its ment to be hooked up??? It looks like this after taking off the the 1 labeled "rear" ive discovered fuck all to none come out when the pedal if pushed! The 1 labeled "front" is acting normal The port right at the front seems to be the only other port with good fluid spurt then pedal is pushed! Any of u valiant owners have a master cylender like this / could hel me out with info??? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloNLo Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 you could ask Cletus http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=21943&view=next from the pics in his build up it looks like both the back ports are in use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I used to have the same master cylinder in my VH charger. I have since changed to a later model VJ booster. I still have the old one down in the garage. I used both rear ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Where is the build thread for said VC? I owned a really dodgey mattyB one back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yeah VC pics please. I have these cylinders on my AP5 and VG. I've had no problems bleading them. Just bench blead them thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 i rebuilt mine and it was a bit of a prick to bleed- i didnt bench bleed it cause i didnt want to get brake fluid on it (fresh paint) from memory i pressurised the reservior gently while bleeding it to help get fluid thru. worked well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
