@discool Many thanks for the advice mate, carried out the conversion today, in the rain.
Essentially nothing to report, just wanted to say thanks
Much easier to install and bleed, although I'm not sure what order to do it in. Followed the order given in Haynes for the old dual line system (nsr osr osf nsf). Braking is rubbish at low speeds, so I may have screwed up, but pads on the spare callipers don't look too clever, so will be replacing those anyway. Should have done rear again, will do it when weather clears or new pads arrive. Used up my xmas halfrauds voucher on a couple of litres of DOT4, so plenty spare for messing about and replacing the rear lines. The entire system uses no more than a pint.
As a handy side effect, the single line jump hose bracket has better clearance for the swivel top pin bolts.
Now I need to turn the back of the disco back into the back of a disco from the breakers yard it's become over the course of the front end works, but it's good to be on the road again
