OK guys, crazy idea time. Spent a lot of time and money on my resto. (Year 5) I don't want to mess it all up with brake fluid leaking everywhere.
Brand new brake system, soup to nuts. There's bound to be leaks. So, here's my idea.
I want to use nitrogen or argon thru a high pressure regulator (800 psi max), to pressurize the system at the distribution block.
Check for leaks with soapy solution. Test the rear, then test the front.
I'm not trying to replace a liquid with a gas, just trying to pressurize the system to appropriate levels and check for leaks without corrosive brake fluid.
No master cylinder, just start at the dist. block.
I have access to equipment similar to what's used in HVAC work.
Fabricating fitting adapters for testing in not an issue.
Any comments? (Good, Bad or Ugly?):grin2:
