Really excellent demo..thanks ronny
Where is the second video. I'm bleeding some tomorrow, good timing though. I cant believe you just posted this and I just left my buddys shop as he called me in to work on a 68 Shadow. Supposed to just look at the brakes, but on starting, the fan was hitting the shroud, so I spent today replacing all 3 engine mounts . They had completely sheared and the engine was completely skewed. Anyways, I had to explain that I needed the engine running to bleed the brakes, so that was first. Before we even started though, I told him that the first thing on an unknown car is to open the reservoir. The forward reservoir was just 2.5 inches of solid gel and the slosh plate was corroded, old hygroscopic fluid by the looks of it. Anyways, tomorrow I will try to flush it and see if I can get anywhere. I will not even know if the pumps are running if the feed is blocked so wish me luck. One good thing though, at least on his it has old master cylinder, so they wont completely unstoppable ;-)
Thanks for your great videos, you're a good teacher my friend. and this one at least got my mind ready for tomorrow, I haven't done a shadow brake job for about 4 years so thanks.
So how did it all end?
I hope You used RR363 brake fluid
Excellent and Very informative. I bet you hear this a LOT, but did I hear you say, very faintly, at the very very end of this video, it sounded like someone asked you about the fluid, and I think your reply was, "Dot 4. I don't use Anything else..."? Is that standard Dot 4? or RR363? And, thanks for answering a question I had before delving into my long-neglected '72 Shadow... 1.5 gallons capacity, no?
Hello, is this the same procedure for a 1977 Silver Wraith II?
What about the rear height control? these need bleeding too
Last 7 month i am working In a wraith 2 1978 model for restoration . Last 25 years this car not using put in in used garage .then it's not start also corrosion everything is stuck also now it's restored but I have issue in gear not shifting while starting also the brake have issues problem for the brake is i make every brake pipes in our garage now last two days i work with brakes but it's leaking if I fix one leak and start again then the leak ok on that area but with in 5 minutes next side will leaking now I fix lot of leak but still this happen .if anyone know the solution please explain me thank you
please let me know where to get parts for my 1971 silver shadow ..love and appreciate for your services to r r community
Wheel,jam on the brake
You might want to wait a moment...
I'm not sure if the technique demonstrated is appropriate for early Shadows like your buddy's. I have a late '67. These cars have the master cylinder in the rat trap.
Its pretty much the same, except you do an additional standard brake bleed technique for the lower rear (on his car) bleed nipple which is controlled by the master cylinder low pressure system. The high pressure is the same. I apply the brakes by pulling on the bottom of the brake pedal where it pivots into the rat cage so I can apply the brakes while I'm under the car.
Al Silver Shadow have a master cylinder in the rat trap Silver Shadow2 has no master cylinder
a rubberball givs the brake pedal pressure felling on the remaining R-R car production in Crewe
find a solution to the brake problem
2200 lot pressure
LHM in Shadows Ronnie?
No only RR363 up to chassis no 50.000
No sorry, RR363 upto chassis 50.000 but LHM+ From 1980-1998 Chassis 01001 onwards
Thanks a lot sir for your kind videos. But the elders who surrounded you as a audience looks like time passers.
