Hi List...

Previously I asked:

>Mandatory MV content...what is the total capacity of the master
>cylinder reservoir on a deuce? In other words, if one installed a
>brand new master cylinder, how much DOT 5 would it take to fill the
>master cylinder (ignoring the brake lines)? The value is
>conspicuously left blank in the table on page 4 of LO 9-2320-209-12-1.

Well I changed the brake fluid in my deuce today.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the master cylinder reservoir
on an M35A2 takes about a pint when it is bone dry, not including the
lines, airpack or anything besides the reservoir itself.

I will add a note to the copy of the LO 9-2320-209-12-1 on the
MILDOCS.COM site to reflect this, since the entry in the table on the
original documents is blank.
