As soon as I get my real estate licence and start selling houses I'm planning a serious order of parts from you.

Total career change at 50 might not be everyone's idea of fun but I decided now or never. Things are going well but cash is a bit scarce!

"Back" to the brakes, I reassembled them yesterday afternoon, and taking super care got the two screws out of the master cylinder and have bled the system. The brake fluid in the sight glass looked a little suspect so I pumped a lot of new clean fluid through before sealing it all up again. My little hint is get a small disposable syringe for filling the master cylinder. It is tiny, and at an angle which makes pouring in fluid impossible.

Now with the whole set up lubricated with silicon goop and all the threads and bushes shiny clean I've just got to wait for the rain to stop so I can go for a ride
