That fixed it


I attached two files on the car.  One showing the banjo fitting hitting the shock mount on the front axle.


I never saw this.  I scratch built the hot rod, bare frame up.  I worked on aircraft for many years so I have a trained eye.  In this case, you do not see the problem unless the wheel is full lock.  I missed it and I have had issues with it from day one.  Cost me three master cylinders and a lot of mistrust of the brake system because of the loss of pedal.


Just goes to show that building from scratch takes  a good eye for problem areas and potential problem areas. The loss of fluid, which did occur, was very small and only every  once in a great while.  I never missed the fluid because it was such a small amount.  So one of my statements was incorrect.  Secondly the area of the banjo fitting  is obscure, but there were tail tail signs of leakage at that point.


Thanks for the help Guys.  My ride is about as good at it gets now.  Drives great, handles great and STOPS GREAT all the time.
