I am out here, choking on smoke from wildfires, nursing my wife, who just
had total knee replacement a week ago on Friday. She is trying to do too
much, so my primary task is to slow her down. Haven't had much success, so
far.

Yes, I still am making brake bleeders, they enable one person, working
alone, to successfully bleed the brakes in a GMC. I make top plates one at
a time, for whatever master cylinder your coach might have fitted. I do not
mass produce them. So each one is custom. Just the way I go.

She is doing great, therapist says her upper leg strength is "boss"
whatever that means. She has over 90° range of motion on the knee, already,
no swelling. Staples will come out on Wednesday. Still icing and elevating
often. Walking unassisted in the house, no walker. She is determined to
improve daily. She is able to do all the exercises that she was given at
the hospital, and exceeds some of the repetitions. I am impressed.

My "standard" plate probably will not. But, I can make you a "custom" plate
that will. I would need an imprint from the top of the reservoir, and cell
phone pics of your MC. Might require different hold down cable positions.
Easy enough to accomplish with pictures. Probably for the same price. I
make these kits to be of service to the Community, not to get rich.
