Well after chris vega had lost his brakes.....
I f**ked my brakes on Thursday losing the rears......
Dont ask!
I had to get a new rear offside braided hose made up and re-routed it to a better place!
Managed to get it done from my good friend John at Hosequip! Highly recommended!!!
He made it Friday morning and sent it out next day delivery for me, and it was waiting for me after I got back from work today.
I also found that the front brake distributor block had a slight mist of oil around the lower connection and not sure whether this was dot 4 spillage before I disconnected it and replaced it too....
Just finishing putting all 4 wheels back on after bleeding the brakes and the mrs crying that I got her to pump the pedal for me again on this car.

Not happy....
She was quite upset, but I do love her and appreciate it.....
Did not do 3 times around like I like to, but I think all the air is out....
My mate lent me an easy bleed which turned out to be a royal PITFA!!!!
I ended up redoing what I tried to do by myself!
Rushing I spilt dot 4 everywhere and even got some in my eye!!!
Not recommended!!!
It stings like f**k!!!
Not tested the brakes yet but I am sure they will be fine.
Up early tomorrow so I guess we will find out then.....
The neighbours might not appreciate the early wakeup...
><.
Oh well.
Looking forward to seeing you all there....
.
I wish you all a Bon Voyage for tomorrow.

Enjoy the day guys.
Wish I could have stayed for third day but two nights in a tent with lack of sleep about my limit these days
Parade lap yesterday was great fun even though we had to share the track with a plethora of boring moderns that somehow the organisers think qualify as classics Honda S2000, Fiat Abarth 500 - you are having a laugh
I was expecting a 30mph trundle but managed some decent bursts of speed on occasions.
Pic of the stand yesterday, just six S30Z.
