Sweet as a nut after plenty of bleeding - definately much better with the older bleed nipples so might be and idea to remind these guys !!!

!! IF YOU CHANGE YOUR CALIPERS USE THE OLD NIPPLES OR YOU CAN'T BLLED THE SYSTEM PROPERLY !!!

Certain Mk3 calipers seem to have the wrong bleed nipples, as in the taper is wrong.
What happens is you need to open the nipple out too far to get fluid out, this seem to trap an air bubble around the outside of the bleed nipple.
So if anyone has this problem, calipers seem to bleed constant air, then change the bleed nipples over for the old ones.

my handbrake attaches to the top if that's what you mean. I think it does anyway. Will look soon.
