Hi Guys,
been a while since I've posted about my conversion, still stopping like a champ but on checking the rubber brake lines I found both left and right had bubbles that did not look too flash. The rear line seemed ok but I decided to replace all 3 with braided lines, DOT approved and very fancy...yes not cheap!
Here are some images for any interested folk out there - I tell you what, bleeding these suckers is for the birds! The copper sealing washers on the calipers would not seal and took a while to get that sorted and ended up using the old washers - but it still stops, not sure if any better or worse!
