I'll suggest a method of a 2 person which I use on everything. Open the bleeder nipple and simply place your finger over the end and have the person pump furiously (make sure you don't run out of

I have had the most like just going to home depot and buying a little tube that will fit snugly over the bleeder. Run that up a foot or two and then into a cup than crack the bleeder and go. You can

If your brake system uses the red stuff... Use MIL-PRF-83282 Fluid. It has a higher flashpoint than the normal red stuff. The automotive red hydraulic fluid flashes into fire at quite a low temp. On

For airheart brakes on taildaggers be sure to lift the tail first to get the air bleed hole at 12 o' clock. Took me lots of frustrating failed attempts before I discovered that. Gary McKirdy

Corbin, To make the fitting I just drilled a small hole in the screw that came with the master cylinder and epoxied a 1/2" of aluminum tubing to it to slide the plastic tubing over. Jerry

Thanks Richard. I think I will try this method again today. I would love to get a fitting like Jerry and connect to the reservoir to collect overflow. Maybe I can determine that size today and get

We use one of those old timey hand pump oil cans and attach it to the bleeder at the caliper. By back filling the system it only takes one person to do it and will push out any air in the system. If

I usually use a helper to pull on the brake while I man the bleed fitting. Also, a bottle like this makes filling a lot easier. ACM Economy Wash Bottle, LDPE, Squeeze Bottle Medical Label Tattoo

I have Matco breaks and have a terrible time bleeding them. Since the bleed port fitting at the caliper is not directly below where the brake line attaches, there is an air pocket that sometimes

Chasing some air in my brake lines. I tried a vacuum pump system but I don't think I could get a could seal from the pump itself. Then I tried pushing fluid using the oil can method; through the

My Quickie and Cozy both have fiberfax and stainless. Use aluminum for a template. Terry Crouch

Matthew I used fiberfax which was the name of the material supplied in the original kit. It was very delicate to work with and the plans called for aluminum sheet to protect it. Dave D Sent

There is a fireproof, water based glue that is for sale on Spruce. This is what I used to attach the fiber to the firewall. I also used that: Here is the link.

I have a thin sheet of stainless over fiber fax. It seems the fiber fax had some sort of a special glue to hold it in place. I don't remember what it was, maybe Liquid Firewall? In the mag box recess

I did precisely as you described. Satisfied. Fortunately, never been tested. jerry

Hi Matthew, I have done similar to what you are thinking (with ss), but put a piece of fiberfrax between the ss and the fiberglass firewall. Fiberfrax is the best insulator, in addition to the

Mine has stainless

Curious what you all have done for a firewall. My Q2 had some kind of fireproof fabric bonded to the firewall with no aluminum sheeting or anything over that. There was originally paint but that has

Oh, and you'll need some new ferrils. Take a piece of tubing to ACE hardware, they got them. Mike
