SSBC A1704 Brake Pressure Gauge Kit

Works great and came with a variety of fittings. Good construction for the price.

I really expected this kit to go beyond the caliper and be compatible with my master cylinder since it is labeled as a "Brake Pressure Kit" not a "Caliper Pressure Kit." Unfortunately, there are no adapters to convert the 10mm gauge fitting to anything SAE. This kit would be awesome if it came with an SAE adapter other than the caliper adapters.

The glass did not fog up at all. I found out that I had frozen rear calipers, a collapsed right front hose and a master cylinder that is on it's way out. $50.00 seams a bit much . However, The fittings cover a wide variety of systems such as my 99 Land Rover discovery SD series 1. This will save you a lot of time which is most valuable.

A pair of these brake pressure gauges did the job. The lens on the gauge became cloudy after contact with brake fluid; but, the gauges were inexpensive enough that I won't complain beyond mentioning the fact. I went to several auto parts stores and purchased an assortment of brake line fittings that would allow me to get pressure readings from various points in the brake system, from the master cylinder, through the combination valve, to the calipers and wheel cylinders. I also purchased several 8" and 12" length pieces of 3/16' brake line in order to space the gauges away from the test point and position the indicators such that I could read the values.

The gauge works, but there's no way to actually connect it to the brake system with these absolute garbage adapters. The threads are exceptionally poor quality, with some rounded off and some sharp with machining chatter. None of these will thread into the caliper (3/8-24). I can't even get a die started to try and clean these up. Fortunately I bought an adapter for my flex lines to use with this, otherwise, it'd be a poor paper weight. There is no quality control on these things at all. They don't pass a visual inspection, much less a functional check.

Needed teflon tape to seal the gauge to the adapter. Gauge face is made out of plastic, and accidental exposure to brake fluid turned the plastic face foggy and difficult to read. Having some sort of extension hose between the adapter and gauge would be nice, both to keep the fluid off the gauge and to make it easier to read the numbers due to oddball bleeder locations on the caliper. I'd buy it again at a reasonably higher price if they provided a gauge face which remains clear and that extension hose.

Use it to adjust front to rear brake pressure.

First time I used it. The plastic back broke. I've glued it but kind of sucks . Get what you pay for I guess.

Very good.

Worked as advertised. Worth while purchase.

Very simple and it work perfectly!

Works well.

Looks good!
