G'day,
I'm going to bring my pressure bleeder and Jim Hupy's master cylinder adapter plate to Bean Station.
If you want your brake fluid flushed bring 2 quarts of whatever brake fluid you use in you coach.
Personally I use ATE Super 200 as it has the highest wet and dry boiling points for DOT 4 available.
Google "ATE Super 200" to find the cheapest source close to you or Bean Station.
To answer your next question, no I won't buy a large quantity, sorry.
Regards,
Rob M.

Great!
I plan on installing my new 80MM calipers at Bean Station. I have Jim's master cylinder adapter plate and more than 2 qts of brake fluid. I couldn't find my pressure bleeder so it is great that you will have yours. Thanks in advance!

Sign me up. I'm not real happy with my brakes - I think there may yet be a bit of air in the lines.

If you want colored brake fluid you can make your own. Sniffed around looking for something I could use to dye some. Most everything I could think of was not compatible with brake fluid. I looked at the ingredients in food dye. The only ingredient that would not work in a brake system was water. Put some food dye in a container and put it in the oven at 150 degrees until the water was baked out of the dye. Mix in some brake fluid to make a dye you can use to make your brake fluid any color and any color density. You will be surprised at how dark you can make it.
I have heard there is a commercial brake fluid dye. However I don't know where to get it or anything about it.
