Spent Saturday working on brakes and clutch, I tried a different approach on clutch bleeding- I disconnected line at reservoir and hooked up my Mityvac hand pump and out vacuum and slowly bubbles started coming through the line actually quite a few when they stopped I reconnected line to reservoir and topped it off well pedal is low but then feels fine, Its adjustable so I will play with adjustment when I can get doors fully open. Then the brakes I tried initially with a vacuum bleeder and couldn't get anything out of rear so I went back to master and cracked lines starting at the top till I got fluid coming out and then chased fluid at several points till we got it to rear brakes and success! we have a brake pedal with one little issue the adjustable prop valve i mounted on drvrs frame rail where OE was mounted. Its leaking out of the 1/8" NPT fittings on the valve where the adapter fittings tighten in so I will have to deal with that next chance I get the Mfr suggested Teflon tape on the fittings


the fittings had some red sealer like above but it didn't work
anyone else ever had to deal with this? I've never seen anything in a brake system that had pipe threads on it
