| wilwood stuff has 1/8 not threads so i got adapters on route to change to the more common 3/8 unf fittings, when that arrives we see what happens, then will pressure test at 15-20 psi for 30 mins the whole systems check for leaks

| I'll pop by with the DSLR to get some nice pics. Was a late one - sorting out his rear brakes - ceased o/s and new pads, also a broken shim on the front o/s. Wizpop had an interesting approach to bleeding the system - 1st time involving pumping the clutch pedal!! second time with only 1 set of rear pads in and the front caliper off... no pics of that unfortunately, but got covered in brake fluid instead! Also, Had some wiring to tidy and exhaust header to fit. hmmmm, his MOT is now moved to next week... as garage was closed?! Saw him drive by on the way and then back 8mins later! Looking very tidy though. Will look the nuts once all completed inside and out | |
