The new one has a small hole in the side of the plastic cap but i couldn't see if it was from the molding process or a thru haven't had fluid in it yet. The fifty four has a regular pipe plug in it no holes may not be orignal type. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18 | I got this new master cyl form jim carter last week.Maybe I should try there Tech and see if he knowes anything about it.Can't seem to find the Old cap to see if it has holes. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 | For what it is worth, my 52 has holes in the M/C cap. It also has a shield on the underneath side to deflect the brake fluid back in to master cyl when you hit the brakes. There was a thread some time ago that explained why you need atmosphereic pressure to the fluid. Try a search in the archives you will find more info. | | |
