went to fit it and have broken the end of the copper pipe. Bloody typical.

Has anyone got one of these in good nick they are willing to part with? Or can make one on short notice? I don't really wanna buy a flaring kit for one pipe?

Ok finely got the copper pipe. fitted the pipe which is a brilliant fit.

Have now come across yet another problem. I am trying to bleed this clutch but every time the pedal goes down it stops and you have to pull it back up, is that normal?

If or am i doing it wrong or any suggestions.

Thanks again for your help so far

Paul

There should be a return spring at the top of the pedal, has it come off/broken?

did the pedal stop when you are trying to bleed the system as it will do this. If not the most probably the spring at the top of the pedal sort of like a bow shape

Default Return spring

Return spring has broken on mine and i just drilled the pedal and fitted a spring at the top been like that for years now lol, work though just a bit noisey and the pedal sits lower than the others but not by much.

yes it was doing this whilst trying to bleed the system, so its normal then. Will it do it all the way through the bleeding process or only untill all the air is gone?

I don't think the spring has gone because it does return sometimes and was returning before i tried bleeding the clutch.

The clutch should return to "Normal" if there's nothing holding it to the floor.
