So far so good BTW. I'd recommend the same for you. Get those reservoirs installed and the brakes bled. Give yourself the maximum time to see how things are holding up.
Edwardb, It was watching your thread that actually made me go this wait and see route as you did.
It galls me to think we lay out good money for something as critical as brakes and to have failures and no solution to it other than to spend more money on Tilton. I think more complaints to Wildwood that "hey you have a problem here with quality control" might get them to act but I don't know.

I'll work on getting them installed and bled next, thanks for your sage advice, I'm always open to feedback especially from experienced builders who might see something I'm possibly doing that won't work or can be done better.
