I am at the point of bleeding my brakes. I am using the Wilwood pedals/MCs with a Tilton remote reservoir. For the life of me I cannot get the plastic top to seal against the master cylinders... Every time I go to bleed the brakes I am sucking in air.

Anyone else run into the same issue?

I have the same set up and didn't and don't have a problem bleeding the brakes. What I did have a problem with was getting the banjo fittings to seal up on one of the masters.

Banjo... Mine don't have banjos.. the lines go in the front with an adapter for the NPT to flare... Must be a different model. I will mess with it some more..

Thanks!!
