Re: [FWDLK] dot dot dot, brake lite switches, bleeding direction



Check yer shop manuals. It tells you all.
With a old style pressure bleed, you bleed from the fartherst from master
cylinder which is the RR, last one is LF which is closest.  See the manual
for dual wheel cylinder precautions.
IF you have a Mighty Vac or other vacuum bleeder, you bleed from closest
cylinder, see the Mighty Vac manual.
This lowly Moparite has forsaken hydraulic pressure switches for momemtary on
switch located on the brake linkage under the dash, having done so for last
15 yrs.  For original looks if thats important, leave the hydraulic switch on
the master cylinder just cut the wires at wherever you want.  U must
fabricate a bracked and be sure you use lockwashers to keep switch and
bracket from loosening.  U never will have brake light trubbles again if U
buy a good ($5.00 or so) heavy duto switch.
DOt dot dot. Those racing in SCCA or autocross, or doing over 100 in the 1/4
mile may decide to change to DOT 5 cause it wont boil under heavy duty  high
heat applications.  The rest of us lowly folks can use dot 3 or 4 safely.  U
will still get H20 in the system with Dot 5 except in a different manner.
Dot 5? Not for me and my wheels.

Search the archives for more on all this, its been covered several times a
year.
