Brake bleeding / Handrake lever, cables

Friday 1st July
Bled the brakes, took ages to get the fluid through to all the calipers. I was using a one man bleed system (one way valve in pipe). Got the fluid coming out of all caliper nipples, I then got the missus to do the pedal part while I went round and bled each caliper (and master cylinder) in turn. Got a half decent pedal, still spongy so will give it another bleed again at a later date.

Handbrake lever arrived in the post today, so fitted that, cut down the handbrake cables supplied with the kit and fitted those along with the bias bar that tiger supplied, had to drill 3 holes in the bias bar for the cables and to fit to the handbrake lever.



Also filled the diff with oil.
