Discovered a fluid leak at the brake switch in the Master Cylinder (19mm).
Two questions, What kind of washer is between switch and MC? Metal/fiber? If I take the switch out will I loose the brake fluid? Thanks Renee (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
