At least one version of the Matco brake uses 1/16" pipe fitting. How do you
like to replace 1/16 pipe fittings? Real Cool HUH!

You didn't miss a thing, but a few builders tend to build to their "automotive
roots", so the brake systems end up having to be bled like a car. -Jeff Scott

The brake line coming off the bottom should not be a problem, and having
the bleeder on the top is definitely good for ensuring all air is out of the
system. If you are still worried about the brake line hanging close to the
ground, you should be able to use an "L" fitting to connect the hos

Usually, one little pump can full of hydraulic will fill one side of your brake

Well, I would be even more concerned about having the brake line that close
to the pavement. He said that I can turn it horizontal, but I don't think

Dan,
You must have installed yours upside down. Take a look at the right way to
install them.

I have been browsing the Matco wheel site and I am not sure of the pros/cons of
going with the internal caliper brake assy. Is there anybody who has used the
internal caliper brakes and are you happy with that decision? I would like
