Geez... this is getting complicated. Thanks for all the help... I think I've got it. And to think that folks want to upgrade these braking systems for better performance... All I can say to that is hmmppphhhhh.

I've got a pretty damn advanced braking system as it is...

In all honesty, every master cylinder I've ever done on a 140/160, I've never bled the calipers. But I'm pretty sure I've shoved enough air in there by now that I have no choice... what with letting air in, leaving it there, letting the pads wear... again and again etc.

FOr now, I'm gonna work on something simple... the windmill I'm building...
