Re: ANOTHER #%*!:( BTV failure

Interesting find today. While doing my AC conversion, needed to take the BTV out but Surprise! (or not), found reservoir was half empty! Was going to take it out anyway to see if I could come up with another way to mount a modern unit but this kind of forces the issue.
This car is a garage queen with very few miles on it since a full body off several years ago and vendor supplied (rebuilt) BTV. No sign of external leaks. The leakage is approx 7ml in the cup and appears the leather piston seal has also got some on it.
Incidentally, the full stroke fluid output is just over 20ml. Of course, in normal operation it will never go full stroke on purpose so probably average pedal application to cylinders would be half that.
