were can i find that whatyamacallit tool you're using to keep the reservoir from going dry?

Jason18ZL1LE · 09-03-2019, 10:44 AM

I could be wrong but it looks homemade. Appears to be a standard squeeze bottle with a G1/4 threaded cap and a ball valve. Would be easy to make. If it’s NOT homemade then yes, please share the link

I agree that the 6th gen break feel is a bit.. shitty. It's been my biggest complaint with my SS1LE and my ZLE.

Won't be there, but if you ever want to come down to PBIR on a Wednesday when I am out there, you can be my guest and drive your car on track too. The track is reserved to us on Wednesday's. We are hot until 10PM, have hot food served for dinner and have drinks (non-alcoholic of course) available all night.

I am not there every week but we can arrange a date that I am there so that I can get you in.

The refill bottle is a part of the pneumatic brake fluid bleeder kit

so you have to open the valve to refill the reservoir? I doesn't automatically refill it? I see the 3 legged adapters just keep it on the reservoir.

You keep the valve open while you are bleeding with the bottle upside down, and it doesn't overflow. That's the whole purpose, so that it becomes a one man job.

it looks like there is no cap on the reservoir to seal it how does it not just over flow?

When the end is submerged no air enters so the fluid stays in the bottle, when the fluid level drops some air enters the bottle and fluid dispenses until it refills enough to stop air from entering.

ok thanks

Just curious do you think this would void the track warranty?

No.

JCunningham · 09-04-2019, 09:01 PM

i have a extra reservoir cap. ill drill a hole in it so the bottle fits tight.

Technically these lines are DOT certified because, they are TUV approved and further more approved for FMVSS 106 standards, which covers the DOT-571-106 classifications as well. Therefore it should not be an issue with warranty. As noted by others, it uses all the stock mounting locations for the tabs and etc... which most other aftermarket brake lines kits don't.

By the way, those who got the lines from the first batch should all have their brake line kits delivered today

Since I am still getting messages about people wanting these kits, I just asked for 10 more kits to be made, those should be here in 2 weeks. If you want a line kit from the next batch that is coming, just PM me so that I can get your email to send you the paypal invoice / request.
