I would like to know the approx brake fluid capacity for the Treadle Vac system on a Clipper 1956. Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

Shoot, I don't know. Manufacturers don't usually publish that sort of thing. Probably between a pint and a quart. Buy a quart and it'll be plenty.

The old spec for most master cylinders was to fill them up to 1/4 inch from the top of the reservoir. That's what I do on mine and I haven't hit anything yet.

Thanks.

Some of the issue is not so much how much it holds but how much it takes to bleed the system properly. That would obviously be far more than the actual capacity!
