I just popped on my newly remastered rear brake calipers from PMB and was wondering if there was a point to the lower bleeder? I only ever bothered with the top bleeder before but now that it's bone dry I was wondering if that might be why the second bleeder exists? I will be bleeding the brakes tomorrow morning.

Here are my 308 calipers. I had a machinist add the second bleeders so they are on top when mounted on my 914/6 conversion. Fresh from restoration at PMB last month. Nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Any chance you have a /4 rear that you could post side by side? Long shot I know but can’t find that rear inboard casting comparison anywhere online thus far. I just can’t imagine ATE having a unique casting for /6 and Ferrari 308 given the low volumes. Could be wrong but would love to see the side by side comparison. |
