Quick question, I noticed a hole on the rubber boot. Anyone with knowledge about these Master Cylinders know if this is normal? Looks like a hole to relieve air. Just want to double check before installing, thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That's what I was thinking, too. The fluid will find its way out one way or another. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
