If you are lucky you may get a decent pedal,but I think you may need to pressure bleed it

If you can get away with it then fine,but numerous people will tell you that after replacing a major part in the brake circuit it can be a right bugger trying to get a decent reliable pedal,especially if you track it.

Did'nt have one in stock so i bought Gunsons EeziBleed , great bit of kit , had a bit of trouble with the rear offside bleed nipple , it was rusted solid , after i'd rounded it off with mole grips ,i cut the end off the nipple and hammered a 6mm socket on to the nipple , and out it came , lucky i had a spare nipple .. -------------

LooooooL !!!!!!!! Jon, when are you finally coming with us to the Ring? I think your sense of humor would be a great addition to the team we already have together. There are still a few rooms left in the Hotel I go..... ------------- E61 520d, slow and buzzy but my wallet likes the mpg..... |

Uwe,
Far to dangerous for me,although recently I have been tempted. Working in Scotland has put my trackday adventures on hold at the moment,but hopefully things are about to change. Just remember at the ring to look out for the coaches,bikers,oil etc..etc..and only drive as fast as your guardian angel can fly I lost mine years ago.
