    A good way to find if they are too tight is to use a ring spanner. If they round off they were too tight...but that's a daft way to find out. :D

  3. Undid and blew through all of the pipes, the flexi's were well blocked at the back, replaced fronts

    Had to make a new length of kunifer up on the drivers side as it wouldn't bloomin reach the flexi!

    All seems clear now.. back flexi's, calipers and new shoes tomorrow than wait for a new master.. or take apart and clean the old one

    Bracket held on by the top ball joint nut. I think I might see the edge of it fitted 90 degs out on one of your photos?

    Wondering why handrake spacer arm was loose..

    Had a look at the tintop rear brakes.. luckily also a crossdresser. That hinge pin on the left supposed to be in the top hole I think.
