The TD handbook says to fill brake master cylinder to a level 1/2 inch
below bottom threads of the filler neck. That leaves a large volume of air
above the fluid, far more than would seem to be needed for expansion.
Totally T-Type 2 (Issue 10, February 2012) has an article by a TF owner who
rigged a separate overflow bottle to his MC, connected at the back end with
banjo fitting, so he can check level and fill from under bonnet, instead of
through the hole after removing the rubber plug under the carpet. Would this
not fill the MC completely?
Why would MG have specified such a seemingly low level? Does it matter?
