My brake problem
chrisg - 27/10/03 at 08:49 PM

Those of you who are familiar with my car will know that I've been having a little problem with my brakes.

Basically I've been unable to bleed the nearside front brake since I put on a bigger M/C to improve the brakes.

I tried putting the original M/C on - no good

I replaced the pipe to the front N/S - no good.

Today I decided enough was enough so I took it all to bits.

And I've found out what it was!

The original flare off the old pipe had become detatched, turned in the hole and been squashed by the new fitting, becoming a very effective copper washer blocking off the pipe.

As Harry Hill might say"what are the chances of that?"

Cheers

Chris
