<VV> Brake Master Cylinder Question

[hallgrenn at aol.com]

Jay,

The rubber cup should stay with the cap.  Add fluid to the cylinder bowl and install the rubber cap on top.  Note the indentations on the rubber cup that help bubbles collect and dissapate to keep the fluid from becoming aerated in the bowl and allow it to expand downward with the fluid as the level drops.  I fill mine to just bellow the level of the rubber piece.  I don't remember what the repair manuals say exactly as I haven't one handy.

The master cylinder in my '65 Corsa convertible appears to be low on
luid. I've purchased Valvoline synthetic DOT 3-4 brake fluid to add
ome. My question is, do I add the fluid directly into the rubber cup
hat's located inside the master cylinder, or do I lift it out and add
nderneath? How much should fluid be in the master cylinder? Do I fill
t to the top?
