At the risk of wearing this thread out, I have another related question.
I'm going to get those speed bleeders, and I want to rig up the pressure bottle to the master cylinder. I don't like the access I'll have to the MC cap, through the floor. (I have a '58.) I also don't like the thought of having excess brake fluid that is guaranteed to flow out of the tubing between the cap and the bottle. Here's the question:
Can I put a "T" in the brake line right near the master cylinder, but with access from under the truck, with a little valve on it? I would then run the tube from the bottle sitting on the ground to the T and tap into the line. Yes, I might add a little air into the line as I attach the tube from the bottle to the valve, but I'm bleeding air from the lines anyway, so any additional air will simply be bled away. Why isn't there a "tap" on the brake line? Is the master cylinder the only place where I should add fluid?
If I have to bleed the brakes at least once a year, shouldn't I have a quick disconnect on it, right next to the master cylinder?
This seems too easy and, in my experience, "too easy" usually means "it won't work." Will it work or not?
