Rear brake bias

>>rubber check out of the RPV on the front pot.<<

RPV, is that supposed to be an acronym for residual pressure valve? Not a common acronym since it is usually simply referred to as a residual valve.
Front pot? Is that street slang for reservoir?

There is no functional difference between a disc/drum MC and a drum/drum MC. MC is a common acronym for master cylinder.
Disc/drum masters often have a larger reservoir for the front calipers, but in no way effects its operation. A 1" disc/drum master works the same as a 1" drum/drum or a 1" disc/disc.

There is a difference between a MC used for power brakes and one used for manual brakes. The manual MC has a deep hole in the rear of the piston for the brake rod. The power MC has a shallow hole for the short rod on the front of the brake booster.

CPP and others make a universal MC and supply a plug to allow the manual MC to be used with a power booster.

Some guys foolishly use a power MC for manual brakes and hope the rubber dust boot doesn't rot away and let the rod drop down, leaving them with no brakes.

The metering valve on the end of the combination valve must have the pin either pushed in or pulled out when breeding the brakes. If the metering valve is not pushed/or pulled when bleeding the brakes you will have poor or no front brakes. You may not realize the fronts are not working until you have a problem with the rears locking up.


Sorry, but made up words and uncommon acronyms hinder communication.

Yes to all, MC is MC RPV is RPV ect ect ect. Not made up just not wanting to type it out. But I can see you are quiet smart... I think everyone knows what I was saying. Yes, pot is reservoir, is a pot not, that's what we call them sometimes. But I cannot spell reservior. see.

Tedious, like a 5th grade school master.
