Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:03 pm Post subject: Brakes question for RV-4 owners

My -4 (purchased) has the right         master cylinder installed inverted, which makes it impossible to         bleed without removing it's mounting screws & temporarily         flipping it 'right side up'.

          I can't find the plans set to see if this is the required         mounting position. Do most of you have both master cylinders         installed rods-up, or is my mounting according to plans? I'm         suspecting clearance issues.

         

         Thanks,

         

         Charlie

Hi Charlie,

 

Mine are both rod end up and I believe that this is the way its listed in the plans, I did have to play around with mountings and make them fit properly but this was only a minor adjustment with a file.

 

Cheers 

 

John Morrissey

Thanks, John. That's encouraging news. I'll work on that issue     before proceeding with the other issues.

Charlie,

 

That is the way they are designed .  If you do a search on VAF you will find a few threads on how to bleed them top down without having to flip the cylinders.  I have done it once and it seemed to work fairly well.

 

Regards,

 

Dan

Hi Charlie,

 

Go to this link and you will see a few photos of Jerry Isler’s installation. I pretty much copied this arrangement. Works well so far!
