Bit more done to the series today
Managed to get the lower front brake wheel cylinder changed so as to be able to bleed that side as the bleed nipple was seized solid. The union with the pipe came out with ease as did the two nuts holding it on. Then a case of hammering it of the hole to break the cast as it wouldn't come out with the bleed nipple in situ
Then proceeded to strap up the front shoes to bleed properly.
Although i still have a really soft pedal on the first stroke but can pump it up. Once pumped up however it doesn't loose pressure until i release the pedal and leave it for a couple of minutes.
So my guess is air must be in the system somewhere. Will have another go at bleeding all four wheels tomorrow whilst shoes are strapped up tight.
Decided then to get the drivers side wing of to get decent access to the chassis to give it a good paint like I've done with the rest of it.
Only managed to get as far as removing the wing, jet washing and wire brushing though today.
Can only hope and pray the weather is ok tomorrow so i can rust treat it and paint.
If not I may be able to borrow a gazebo and work under that
Here's some more pictures.
Wing off before cleaning.
And a picture of it after a good jet wash
Will also give the accessible parts of the bulkhead a lick of paint whilst I'm at it as well.
More to come tomorrow
