Sorry screech mate, ye they are pointing up. U could put them wrong side but the hand brake cable gets funny to put on.

Well tried with the eezibleed. No luck. The pedal is soft 3/4 way down and then bites before it goes to the bottom and if i push anymore then its the end of the travel. Well i was speaking with mad4vws and he has a few. Which make should i get if i buy a new one? I could buy a refurb kit from bigg red and replace the worn seals?

How can i check to see if the servo is ok and not loosing pressure??
Could the 16v & vr owners tell me where the pipe comes from for the hydro clutch? Is it the clear bottle, were you put the brake fluid in?

Its fitted to all 16v and vr6.
I had 280mm brakes on my 95 abf but had the big master cylinder.
