Bleeder dust caps - yes or no?
Newbie preparing car for regular track duty here.
Ok, so I know that managing heat on the brakes is essential, and I have that under control (SS caliper pistons, heat shields on the brake pads, air ducts feeding air to the rotors, quality fluid, and track quality pads).
Should I remove the plastic / rubber dust caps from the bleeder screws and run with them uncovered, in order to keep the bleeders from being fouled by melted caps? Or do the caps survive intact?
