MC feeder brake line replacement?
Just wanted to verify something with the group.
As part of my 930 brake upgrade on my 72T, I've changed my master cylinder to 23mm. The problem is the change in location of the MC feeder line inlet location and the hard (plastic/polyvinyl?) lines used to feed brake fluid from the reservoir to the mc. The angle of the bend needed to clear the steering rack and enter the footwell does not allow the inlet pipe and rubber pipe seal to seat correctly.
I used a 45 degree bend (provided by ate) and used more flexible clear vinyl tubing to connect the new inlet connection to the a section of the old polyvinyl tubing cutoff at a convenient location. I used hose clamps at both ends to seal the connections tightly. I don't think that I have to worry about pressure as it is primarily gravity fed and "pulled" in by the MC action.
Will I have a problem with the vinyl tubing related to brake fluid incompatibility causing deterioration or contamination of the brake fluid?
Anybody been there done that?
