report - brake adjuster kit series III

As Richard ( Mr Beamends ) stated. The Bearmach adjuster kit was superior
but I couldn't tell you why. The snail cam was slightly thicker. The cam
fitted on the drive slightly tighter. I had to make up the fitting just
like the BritPart one. There were no instructions for the LR. But it
worked.

Shame I now have to change all the slave cylinders as the fluid is leaking
past the bleed nipples when bleeding. Can't get a good seal.

Cheers

Paul

Laeking bleeders is pretty unusual. Have you taken the bleed screws
right out? If so, have they got a pointed end or an end with a dimple
at the centre? If they're pointed clean them up with a bit of steel
wool and try them again, if they have a dimple you've probably lost the
ball bearing that sits behind them - just drop a new ball in and all
will stop leaking.

I have changed all the bleed nipples over as they were stuck fast. I must
admit, I don't remember seeing any ball bearings.

I've found a place selling QH slaves for ll.30 each and I've already changed
two. I had problems with seating the solid pipes in the slaves but have no
problems with the ones I have changed.

and are they the right thread - metric/imperial?
