Master Cylinder Ports

Post by Risocco »

guys, my replacement master cylinder has 6 ports, I only need 4.

How do I block them off? OK to thread a bolt in them?

Any advice greatly appreciated :beers:

My mk2 had similar. The "spares" were blanked off with mk1 brake light switches.

or just use it as an excuse to fit some nice 4 pot calipers up front, with 2 feeds to each

Cheers, bolts seem to have done the trick for now as the brakes have bled successfully for the first time in 2 years.
