My brake problem

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





Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Actually the quote is...

"What are the chances of that happening eh?"

Not that I like Harry Hill...





Cock off or cock on. You choose.
