Stainless brake and clutch lines - install techday feeler..

[jack]

With regards to my last post......
Tech day, (brake line fitting)
For all the people who may need a bit of help !
And all the people who want to tyre kick !
I've got two sheds and a car port , capable of putting three cars under cover, in case of bad weather.
This post is a test to see if enough people would be interested in a BBQ tech day.
Banagher, County Offaly. Sunday 4th July.
We should have our new brake lines by then !

Ok, thanks...... if the 4th is a busy day, then how do people think about the week after, the 11th ?

Hi,

I would be interested. I would bring my tools but absolutely no knowledge of what I am doing it that is fine.

Cheers

PS Would I need my own bleeder set?

[Steve]

I'll bring mine, v.handy things to have.. you can bleed the brakes in 10 mins without raising the car off the ground with it.
This is the one

[sebna2]

Great stuff. I will use yours this time if that is ok... unless I will order one before the meeting.

[jack]

Ive just orderd a bleeder set the same, so we can do more than one car at a time ....
Steve; can you let us, "no brainers", know exactly what we need to have ready
for the day, other than the new brake/clutch lines ?
Thanks Jack

[sebna2]

Jack, can you still add me to your order? so we would save on delivery?

If you can please do.

Thanks

[jack]

Sorry, I already sent the order
The total price plus shipping was only £ 9.89.
just follow steve's link.

How many break fluid do we need for the whole operation? and also which one are you buying guys?

Same question about clutch...

[jack]

Ive ordered a full set of clear brake and clutch, for my MK 2.
I also need to know how much fluid we need !
I just hope we get enough people who know what thay are doing !!!!
I can supply the BBQ.... and a pair of hands !!!!

I just realised that I am not sure I have the right set of keys.

I have UK mx-5 - will I need imperial or metric set of keys?

Does anybody know?

[leamyj]

Metric I'm sure

[sebna2]

Thanks for answer I also got one - it looks like we need 1L of break fluid for complete flush for both clutch and breaks (all together 1L).

I will buy 1.5l just in case. Probably DOT 5.1 Motul as it is supposed to be better choice for ABS which I have.

Factory calls for DOT 3 or 4 - I am also thinking about rbr600 but I probably I am too lazy to change it every 6 months so I will most likely stick to cheaper 5.1.

I will be ordering my soon with some engine oil and other goodies.

Cheers
