Please help servo abs wheel circuit filler adaptor

[stuart kerr]

I would be most grateful for someone's help.

I'm on the process of changing the abs fluid on my servo 1150gs.

Does anyone know where I can buy the wheel circuit filler adaptor for the abs system.

I've tried to make one myself but it doesn't seal adequately

Please help

I presume you mean for the two reservoirs under the tank. You really don't need it as long as you keep topping up the fluid. It's designed to prevent lazy "technicians" causing harm to the system by not keeping a close eye on the fluid level. I've changed my fluid several times without an adaptor.

Could a mod move this to a Teknikal oilhead bit

Just keep topping it up and follow the procedure exactly (which is a bit of a faff).

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to carefully syringe the fluid into the filler and carefully monitor the level during the process.
Thanks again

Stuart Just wrap some more plumbers tape around the bit where it fits into the reservoir or as I used on mine amalgamating tape

NOTE BENE!

Do not panic if you splash brake fluid over the side of the reservoir etc etc

Just pour a litre or so of Warm soapy water around the same area (making sure the reservoirs are sealed up) and then rinse down with a bucket of cold water

I take it you've been reading the american version of "how to make simple things very complicated" in several easy chapters and many PDF files.

Just pour the fluid in from a beaker by the same amount as it's being pumped out . i.e. ignition turned on, one hand on the front brake lever gently activating the pump while you pour the fluid in.
Substitute hand for foot on the rear brake pedal when you do the rear.

As i've said before, if you can read without moving your lips and control your saliva then you're capable of pouring while watching. .

+1 amalgamating tape and a funnel with an undersized spout...works every time and reusable as it cuts a thread into the tape.

I bought a spare second hand cap from Motorworks , drilled a hole in it and
epoxy resined a small funnel to the cap and put some epoxy on the overflow pipe to seal. No problems using it and just gave a bit more of a reservoir than just pouring fluid into the ABS thing.
