Today's Sale! Motive Black Label European Power Bleeder

Today's sale is Motive's Black Label European Power Bleeder, which differs from the "normal" version with it's machined aluminum cap and swivel fitting. This is the bleeder that we use here at Schnell for all our vehicles.

Here's some info from Motive's site:

BLACK LABEL EUROPEAN POWER BLEEDER

Features Custom-machined aluminum cap and deluxe swivel fitting. Comes with an extra length of high grade poly urethane tubing that won't cloud or crack with exposure to brake fluid. Works on most European cars, including Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Fiat, Mercedes, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, SAAB, Volkswagen, Volvo, and all other cars with 45mm threaded hydraulic fluid reservoir caps.

Why should I pressure bleed?  

Pressure bleeding provides a safe and effective way to remove trapped air and other contaminants from the hydraulic system. A Motive Products POWER BLEEDER is easy to pressurize, and holds enough fluid for a complete system flush, most vacuum bleeders require repeated refilling of the reservoir.  Reverse bleeding where you hook a pressurized line to the bleeder valves on the calipers can force contaminants into  critical parts of the ABS system and master cylinder. Also the typical method of pumping the brake pedal while a helper opens and closed the bleeder valve can actually damage your master cylinder. By pushing the pedal past the normal travel distance the master cylinder seals on the piston can be ripped or gouged by areas in the master cylinder bore that are rusted or worn.

How does the POWER BLEEDER work?  

The POWER BLEEDER works just like professional pressure bleeders. A tank containing hydraulic fluid is attached to the hydraulic system via a special adapter. The tank is then pressurized. When one of the bleed valves is opened, old or contaminated fluid is expelled as new fluid from the pressure tank is added.

This would be a great addition to any of our brake upgrade packages for when you flush and fill... now you don't have to find a friend for the old "pump and hold" method, or use negative pressure systems to suck the fluid out (where anything less than a perfect seal between the bleeder nipples and suction tube can create additional bubbles that makes it hard to determine their origin).

New Protection Bar For The Brand New 981 Cayman GTS!

Our 981/991 protection bar has been a popular item for owners of 991 911s and 981 Boxster/Caymans. With the introduction of the Cayman GTS for the 2015 model year, we have also produced a version of the protection bar specifically for it.

Original protection bar on top, GTS bar on bottom.

As you can see, the GTS protection bar is longer on either end by 6 inches. On the base and S models of the Boxster/Cayman, the bottom of the fascia has a slight downwards flare near either wheel well. With the GTS however, the bottom is completely flat, allowing us to lengthen the bar for additional coverage and protection.

Just a sneak preview...

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.

We're going to have a customer coming in with a new Cayman GTS who already has the itch to improve on an already stellar platform.

Asides from getting a set of our 7mm hubcentric spacers with lug stud conversion kit, and our exclusive rear lower support bar, we're going to be putting on a full set of these guys:

Like before, the quality of these calipers is superb.

Nice and meaty.

You've read about us installing Rotora's Big Brake Kit on our own project 981 Cayman (which was a hybrid version of the Street and Super Challenge kits made just for us), so take a look at their Street Challenge kit, with red calipers and black rotor hats.
