• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    ALL BRAKE SYSTEMS NEED TO BE VENTED I WAS WRONG I have been doing alot of research, and I will stand corrected, that brakes systems do need to be vented. I have closed examined the old GM master cylinders from the 1960's and they were vented. I now understand that a small hole is needed in...

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    To remove that orange brake code on your screen, you turn the Spyder ignition switch on, do not start, and then you depress on the brake pedal for (not sure, its in the service manuual) 10-20 seconds, turn ignition off, wait a bit, and that orange brake code should be removed, providing that the...

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    The brake fluid returns when you let off the brakes, because the vaccum has stopped, and yes, the level of brake fluid in the reservoir decreases due to wear in the brake pads, and that is why the brake code comes on your screen, telling you the fluid is at a low level.

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    I believe the reasoning for the vent hole only in the cap and not in the rubber diaphragm is for two reasons 1 - To let the rubber diaphragm expand into the cap when atmospheric pressure changes, which I believe is the same as gravity. 2 - suction/vaccum When you...

    And, like SPYRYDER, I love and happy with my two 2009 RS SM5 Spyders, one has 16,000 miles and the other has 12,000 miles. My best friend is on his second Spyder 1st-2008 RS SM5 11,000 miles and his current one is a 2011 RT SM5 with 21,000 miles. I try and do as much service to all three, the...

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    Yes SPYRYDER, I see the vent hole on that 1955 Ford cap, but was there or was there not a rubber diaphrgam under it, and that hole was to let air out from cap and diaphragm? I just returned from removing the Clutch Master Cylinder Cover on my 2009 RS SM5, and yes it has two identations on...

    Tomorrow I am going to remove the cover on the clutch master cylinder and thoroughy examine the diaphragm for vent holes

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    I must say SPYRYDER, you are knowledgable, and better with the pics than I. I examined the Dormans I used and there were no holes/slits. I have removed that clutch master cylinder cover in the past, and observed the black/dirty brake fluid ( caused from BRP seals deteriorating), but never...

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    I do not have a Doctorate in Brakeology, and the reason I brought this to all our Spyder friends is that in all my past history of car/motorcycles I vave not seen the diaphram vented. Look at the 1960-70's master cylinders, they all had a sealed system. Do you remember that all the old...

    Yes, the Dorman diaphragm (#42081) I used looks identical to the two pictures you are showing, and when I can get some friend of mind that knows how to take/send pictures, I will post the Brp ones with the slit and the Dorman without the slit/hole.

    ALL OWNERS OF ALL SPYDER MODELS NEED TO CHECK THE CAPS ON YOUR BRAKE RESERVOIR

    The Dorman #42081 diaphragms I used are for various Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge models 1978-1998 and there are no holes or slits.

    In reply to SPYRYDER Post You say I wrong and I say you are wrong. Automobile brake systems are not vented, and what you think might be a vent in the cap is to let the air escape between the diaphragm and the cap, should the diaphragm expand due to either atmospheric pressure causing the...
