Replaced both front calipers, pads and new flexi hoses all round.
Still got a little air in one rear caliper (inside bleed nipple frozen solid) but it stops straight and I have a hard pedal now.
Looks like the master cylinder is reasonably new and not causing any issues.
But all 4 rear bleed nipples are rounded, so I need to replace them and bleed the back again.
And man, they hold alot of fluid, used 2 litres !
Does anyone know where I can buy bleed nipples here ? (I like saying nipples) :rolleyes:
Cheers

I'll have to check, but I think I have a set of new stainless ones to suit C3 calipers that are in my left over parts box.

Thanks Scott
Same caliper from 65-82 (so I'm told) I need the 4 rears, if you have them ?
Would like to get rego next week and take it down to the nationals if possible.
I sent a U2 with my number so we can work something out.
Cheers

I'll have a look when I get home tonight and get back to you.

VB&P list the same part from 65-82 front & back, so I guess they're all the same ?
