Hi Every body
I have to call today Brake Sunday.
1st accumulated required parts , this took forever. 2 back drum brake first, everything cleaned/replaced and polished then assembled, easy
3 Start front brakes, had to make a few imaginative purchases like braided lines then the fittings to mate to new MC via an inline switch, T piece and onto the early (75/76 C) type calipers. Discovery made, the small convex nipples in the caliper fluid feed port are in fact just pressed in and easy to wiggle out with a snug fit pin punch and concentrated heat giving room for a M10 1.0 banjo bolt.
I'm happy with the assembly, no surprises yet but yet to add fluid and bleed
I've attached some pics, I think I need more practice with the camera.
