Stop in for a cup of coffee

I like the look with the black rear wheels and slots on the front. I am going to run this for a while. I also got the slots mounted to new tires and can throw them back on as well.

For bench bleeding a new MC and then filling it up to bleed the brakes, how much fluid will I need? Are a couple of bottles enough?
2 bottles is plenty.. i also made a bottle with a rubber hose that goes over the bleed screw to capture fluid coming out.. i use dot5 and the **** isn't cheap

2 bottles would be enough for an empty system pretty much.. i just make sure i have extra...
 
DOT 3 Napa is what is in there, using the same stuff.
just fyi cause i did a ton of research before doing my brakes.... if you mix dot 5 with 3 it will destroy the rubber in the seals/wheel cyls and ****.... I went with 5 cause it doesn't eat paint and 3 does, and my whole system was new. And i'm glad i did cause i will never not get brake fluid on paint :)

3 is what is already in the system.
 
Ever see what happens to rubber if you mix or introduce dot 5 in a dot 3 system? I was surprised.


you should never put DOT 5 brake fluid in a system that requires DOT 3. DOT 5 is silicone-based, while DOT 3 and other DOT fluids (like DOT 4, DOT 5.1) are glycol-based. Mixing these incompatible fluids can cause serious issues, including brake failure, and should be avoided.

yeah, i have never had a issue mixing stuff like if i had type f with dextron or whatever.. ****'s gonna work fine.. i'm glad i did research on brake fluid though :)
