Bloody brakes...

...as Jan says "blood letting", at any rate I got the flex line in for the rear brakes and installed the new clutch flex line.  The clutch flex line was a bit time consuming as it is difficult to get at with tools but finally got the old one off and the new one on.  After bleeding the clutch I checked the free play and reset it to spec, hopefully this will improve shifting as it had a 1/2" play.  Of course it is a Moss Box which has been likened to stirring a bucket of coal so my expectations are low (this should get a rise out of Jerry who loves his Moss box and views anyone who can't shift it gracefully with just a slight bit of disdain ;-)

Didn't have many pictures to day so here's a crappy picture of the new flex line to the IRS

Bleeding the brakes with my homemade pressure bleeder, seemed to work quite well.  Could not get the rears to bleed at all using the old up-down helper technique.

The upper master cylinder with massive amount of play,  seeking advice from Jerry makes me think the piston may not be coming to it's fully out position and it may have to come apart-naturally since the lines don't seem to have any leaks.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all,
Cheers,
