Re: Brake line - psi For 2CV6 AZKA after Feb. 1970 it's 6 to 6,5 bars/6.000 rev/min at 80"C with 20W40.

Re: Brake line - psi Pete, hope the gauge reads high enough, as the only reference I've ever found to brake line pressures was for the Mehari 4x4 with a pressure limiter in the rear circuit. Iirc, that reduced the line pressure from around 80 bar to 25 bar. ken subarupete wrote: What sort of psi/bar do you get in a 2CV brake line?. I have a gauge/adapter to check.

Re: Brake line - psi Ken, Thats useful, thanks. Have a gauge thats reads to 70bar, see pic. I will have measure a front brake caliper with it. GS manual states the brakes work at 60 to 80 bar. My electric pump gives 20 bar, may be sufficient to apply some brake pressure. Otherwise it's an LHM pump + accu solution. Peter
