    They will cost $35.00 U.S each, plus shipping. I can not guarantee how long these will last before yellowing or if they will even yellow. If you want a perfect reproduction, don’t order one. There are small imperfections. I only have a limited quantity and I’m not planning to go into business...

    Production is underway! Here's the original and the first casting! I finally got the bugs worked out and I'm now in the process of making them. I mailed the first one out today to Living in the Past since it was his original I made the mold from. These casting are not perfect but look really...

    Status update: started from scratch. Pulled MC to verify pushrod to MC was correct, it was. Bench bled the MC. Purchased a Mityvac and proceeded to bleed all wheels using Mityvac’s recommendation of starting closet wheel to MC first to furthest. Had really good pedal pressure though I still...

    I agree! It looks like it should be angled and one of the reasons I questioned if this MC was the root of my problems.

    Where do I buy a male m9 barb fitting to fit the outlets of the MC to bench bleed? Or am I missing the little trick to make this work? What does everyone else use?

    Okay bleeding the MC is next. Then I will bleed the system again. Better safe then sorry.
