Sunday, Anxious to feel how the double disked 79 front end feels, I poured in the brake fluid and started manually bleeding the whole system. Once the calipers did fill enough with the bubbles to start acting hopeful it became apparent that the banjo fitting at the original 79 master cylinder wasn't going to make it. Leak ! I could even hear it
tried a couple other used copper gaskets, No way. So back off it came for a fresh face on the sealing surface today.
Vertically aligned using an appropriate size pin in the thread minor. Carefully positioned and clamped. A 3/4" end mill at 900 rpm slow plunging only resulted in a reasonable finish.
Little fresh paint. Squished in better copper gaskets.
Letting all the components sit a day to get to know each other. Hope it all holds a good seal and pumps up nice next time. Hope to post how the front brakes feel !
