Hi all,

I think I've found the problem with the MC. The metal plunger that goes from the lever into the ali. plunger inside the bore of the MC, had a small spring on it, therefore the internal components where sat approx. 8mm from where they should have been.

I am still concerned about the feel of the brake. I used the syringe method, bleeding from the caliper upto the MC. What a waste of time. For me I could not get the syringe or the piece of plastic pipe free of air bubbles, and when I took the pipe out of the bottle of fluid, the fluid just ran out the bottom of the pipe, giving me even more air bubbles. What am I doing wrong?

I reverted back to to the pneumatic method, much better results but the lever still feels very spongy. I am going to buy some more DOT 5 and have another go. This DOT 5 seems to be very sensitive, does it take long for it to settle down in the brake system after the brakes have been bled?

Will be pulling the clutch and gear box apart in the next couple of days to check what has happend after my little tumble, after the front brake locked on

Thanks everyone,

Andy.
