£25.32 delivered for banjos and nips.

M10x1.0 are they? Or 1.25 pitch? Can't remember.

Err dunno ..... actually not so desperate for the banjo bolts so rather than fart about and delay things I'll just take the stainless nipples for now and re-visit the banjo bolts as and when I need them.

I'll pm you re. payment and where to send them :smt004

It turns out that the fluid was leaking from the banjo bolts on the brake lines. I tightened them up on both sides and this morning there was no fluid leakage to be seen. Hopefully this has cured it.

I probably should have replaced the copper washers that are on the banjo bolts as they might be a bit worn causing fluid to get past.

Nooj – I will hold off on the bleed nipples for now but thanks anyway.

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Damn

That Postman Pat has been but not left any nipples - bet his cat's gone and hidden them or something.

That's put paid to my plans for the day ..... and despite the weather having been great all week while we've been at work, today is grey and cold and miserable .... and I've got another headache ....

:smt012

Oh well - at least I'm not having to fly to Japan tomorrow. Phone calls to our colleagues this week continue to be punctuated by aftershocks - resulting in them relocating to positions under their desks to continue the conversation!

Hay Nooj, I'm after a set of SS bleed nipples, I need the one that goes into the master cylinder as well, is it the same size as the calliper nipples? (three in total then)

Also how much for 12 SS disc bolts (M8x20 I think)

Cheers
