'87 caliper pressure
Anyone know what the pressure is supposed to be at the front and rear calipers? Got an '87 showing 1000psi at the front and one rear and a leak down on the other rear to 500psi.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I remember, years ago, looking thru an EARL's SUPPLY catolog/listing, and they had some military/aerospace surplus guages for sale. I noticed some hydraulic high pressure guages, with small NPT fittings, that were rated 1,000 up to 5,000 psi measurements. I assume some could be used to measure higher pressure in automotive brake systems?
