Hey Kris, Mate i think there is air seeping back into the lines. I havent organised the proper flexible ones yet & just connected up the short r31 lines to the fixed 1600 lines to test out the brakes. I might have to get the proper ones made up & then try again. If i listened "vewy vewy carefooly" I could hear air seeping back in one one side. I tightened up the lines & used some liquid thread tape, but only one side is firming up so the other side must still be letting in air, i guess no fluid leaks out because there is too much air at the end on the line.
Any body got a correct length on the flexible line, or better still a donar car ? cheers Jeff PS my wife usually prefers to be called a she :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of KRISTIAN WALSHAM Sent: Sunday, 24 October 2004 3:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: brake bleeding problem - r31 rear disk upgrade Did you tighten the nipple up before he took his foot off the pedal?
