Has anyone fitted the type with no bleed nipple that hides behind the i cap. How well they work and how easy or not are the to bleed. Looking to improve the braking on my TV but keeping close to original looks with one of these and an hidden master cylinder.

if its the scoot rs one that goes in with a circlip then they are not very good. better with a bar mounted master but a no no with a hidden master.

there is just too much flex and movement resulting in the lever going to the bar before the wheel has locked

I had one years ago and they are not worth the hassle for what you gain.
Try using sinted pads.

i have a hidden master with a mbd type screw in slave on an original inboard disc, its old abused and leaks. On inspection the slave piston is corroded etc. i only need a screw in slave but mbd won't sell just the slave , if they do it is for the full conversion price only, a bit steep, i can buy a scootrs clip in for 40 dollars, but like the idea of a screw in as back plate is already machined up for this, any ideas :?:

well , i may be based in france but would happily post mr blyth my old unit to play with :o :shocking: :oops:

thread size etc, it is a question of the right seals as well etc etc

to be honest i think the best bet is to find a cheap mass produced cylinder and machine it to fit.............
