that looked more complicated to operate than the DL1 data logger so I went for this and if it is crap I can throw it across the pit floor with pleasure knowing it only cost me the price of a pint of guiness in a London theatre

Not that I know of. Could you explain in numpty terms why I should need a twin system. I know I have two separate circuits well at least I think I do, see now you gone and confused me again not hard as we all know. I should stick to laying garden patio's or is it decking i'm good at....anyway

I presume that the twin hose is just so you can bleed both halves of the callipers at the same time making it a little quicker. Can't see any other benefit myself. Over to you mechanically minded souls

How many bleed nipples per calliper? I thought AP's on Tuscans had 2 per calliper, I may be wrong though..My little old PB type iron 2 pots only have 1

mine have two joined by a link tube.one either side of three pistons on chevy or two depending on your set up on my Rover. It's the Rover car I want it for mainly as I always have pedal issues ( lack of one ) at Brands Indy and want to bleed callipers out after qually. I see no problem drawing oil from one set of pistons then doing the other side, am I missing some think ?

Perry
you can treat each side of the calliper individually so you only need a single bleeder.
I used a cheap Halfords one on my 6 pot APs and it worked fine.
All you need is a car tyre at low pressure to connect to the bottle that has the fluid in.
Good luck

cheers John

that's what I thought

For Interest:-
just found this on Willwood site.

Q: How do I bleed a multi-piston Caliper with the four-bleed screws?
A:

After the master cylinder has been bled, begin bleeding the calipers starting with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, usually the right rear and start with the upper outside nipple, then move to the upper inside nipple (never bleed the lower nipples). Repeat the process with each wheel, moving successively toward the wheel closest to the master cylinder. For best results the upper nipples should be pointing straight up because air migrates to the top of the chamber. If you have any questions, please contact a Wilwood Sales Technician at 805-388-1188 or email Sales/Tech Support.
