We just got back from a trip to the New Mexico’s mountains with some pretty steep grades. So I wanted my brakes to be in tiptop shape. First of all, I’m a one man show when it comes to working on my coach. And I’m not that good of a mechanic. Previously Ive tried to gravity bleed and peddle bleed, not the greatest of results. So I bought one of Jim’s bleeder kits. First of all, everything you need is included except the brake fluid. What impressed me the most was the workmanship that went into the reservoir top plate. The pressure bleeder is very easy to operate, great for a one man operation. Just fill the pump with brake fluid, pump up to the correct pressure, get out the manual for the bleed order, and bleed. EASY!!

At the same time I changed my fluid from Dot 3 to Dot 5.1. Just suck the old fluid out of the reservoir with a turkey baster and flush with the brake bleeder/flusher kit.
This kit should also work with any of your old classic cars also.

Needless to say, I now have great stopping brakes, or as good as can be in these motorhomes! Descending the grades in the mountains with a heavy coach and a towed Tracker was not even a issue. I think this kit was definitely worth the price. Everyone or every club should have one. BRAKES ARE IMPORTANT.........
Thanks Jim!!

Jim who? And do you have a link or contact info?

I am out here, choking on smoke from wildfires, nursing my wife, who just had total knee replacement a week ago on Friday. She is trying to do too much, so my primary task is to slow her down. Haven't had much success, so far.

My "standard" plate probably will not. But, I can make you a "custom" plate
that will. I would need an imprint from the top of the reservoir, and cell
phone pics of your MC. Might require different hold down cable positions.
Easy enough to accomplish with pictures. Probably for the same price. I
make these kits to be of service to the Community, not to get rich.
