Decided to connect the power bleeder and pressurize it to ~3 psi when swapping brake lines. Worked great to keep air out of the lines, but man was it messy. Anyway, the install went pretty smoothly, not a lot to report from it.
Brakes feel pretty great. Reminds me of the brake feel of a 981s that I drove around for a few days recently. I think there's still a bit of air in the system, so I'll drive the car around some more (to knock any stubborn air bubbles loose) and rebleed this weekend. Should give me the super solid pedal I'm looking for.
I did also test fit my front track wheel to see if I have enough space for brake ducts v2. Looks like there's tons of room:
I'll be alright if I just mostly follow the caliper radius, as shown in that last picture. Will start on the design work for these things soon.
I did unfortunately find the rear caliper bleeders slightly wet this morning. Didn't have time to investigate, but I guess wheels are coming off tonight to inspect all of them. Hoping it was just inadequate clean up after bleeding (I was running out of brake cleaner and was trying to use it sparingly) and not an actual leak.
