Default Re: The GREAT Ms. American 3.14159 Daily Driver Diary Caper

Hey Mssrs. K, and 40, and everyone else... Have snapped to the fact that what may be happening is that there is something blocking the pressure from going up into the Brake Light Switch. Maybe a bubble. Maybe something solid. Or something else. Don't know THAT to be an actual fact, but it is not out of the realm of possibility.

In thinking about it, the thought occurred that a Flare Fitting that would go into the Threaded Port into which the Brake Light Switch is screwed, with a Flared Tube (like a Brake Line) that would be bent in such a manner that it would go back into the Master Cylinder Reservoir under the Brake Fluid Surface, would make it possible to pump the Brake Pedal, which would cycle the Brake Fluid through the Switch Port, and back to the Reservoir without introducing any air into the Brake Line System. It would also eliminate the need for another him/her/it/mutant.

If there is something in that Circuit, it would hopefully be flushed out of where it is and into the Reservoir. If it is too big to be flushed out, then there would be a hardening of the Pedal Pressure which could then be dealt with some other way.

In doing the necessary gathering of the parts to do this, have found that a Brake Line Fitting is a PERFECT fit for the Brake Switch's Threaded Port. Have made up this item, and have but to go out and see if what has been imagined will actually do the deed.

Was out and about this morning for Blood Tests at the Clinic, and will have to wait till Ms. American's 3.14 has cooled off.

In the meantime, if any of you foresee a problem with this agenda, shoot me down. This should be interesting. Will let you know what happens.

Take care. Stay safe.
