Absolutely love these video logs. I know it's somewhat expensive but please consider using something like: Sony ECMAW4 Wireless Microphone; this will greatly improve content quality. Thanks for sharing.
Helpful, as always. I HATE brake fluid and the way it smells. My master had failed in my 86 spider when I bought it, by leaking fluid into the booster. On my 3rd shake down cruise, I took a LH turn pretty fast, and got on the gas right away. I noticed in the rear view mirror that I was fogging the whole road way! I thought I'd blown a head gasket or something, but the engine was running fine, and it seemed to clear up after idling for a bit. I remembered a buddy who had fluid leak into the booster, then get sucked into the intake when turning at speed. Took a while to clean out all that fluid with a suction device, then paper towels and salad tongs. I caught hell for using those :0(
Hmmm, too bad that there isn't a more assuring solution to the booster problem, but I guess if one regularly checks the fluid level there shouldn't be any unpleasant surprises when driving. I enjoyed seeing the Giulia Super in the background. I owned two of them and they were the best driving cars I ever had. I saw one in pristine condition recently and took some pictures. Older Alfas are very rare here in Germany because of the snow/salt/rust demise. Thanks for all the details on the brakes. The background noise only makes the videos more real. :-)
Well timed video topic as both my boosters had that amount of brake fluid in them. On inspection the main seals look OK, is there a way to check them more thoroughly? And where else do they commonly leak?
Very Nice! Brake fluid sux. Keep it off your hands...keep it off anything. The 69 flying buttress seats are great except they all suffer wear from ingress -egress. Great job, fellows!
Daron, great video! I want to put the 15x6 version of that wheel on my 67 step nose junior. I want to avoid shrinking the original diameter, so can you recommend a good size tire? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Everyone wants to be Italian! Keep up the great videos!
Hey man, if you read this, thank you so much for the brake diagnosis. If anybody else has that weird smell on the spark plug n°4 = brake booster

Where can I buy the 14" by 7" wheels? Also, the name of the clear coat's manufacturer. Thanks. Love your videos
Classic Alfa in England offers the wheels. The motor cycle engine block clear coat comes from Nevada and I will post that tomorrow.
This car is my love..:)
It no sowing machine!
