bleeding nipples!

[thegriff]

Just put a new brake master cylinder on my 400se [ got one from a local motor factors for around half the price other well known sources wanted ] The time came for bleeding and 2 hours later and much swearing still not a good pedal,even after using one of them pressurised kit thingys.Further ivestigation found more bleed nipples on the front calipers,now brakes work as they should.I rushed into this job without prior knowledge thinking it would be the same as a humble fiesta!:read: Lesson learnt,whats going tobe the next supprise i wonder? :scratchchin: simon :driving:

Hi Griff

I was under the impression that all calipers had bleed nipples!?

Rob (GRIFFITHS) WISH I COULD AFFORD A GRIFF!

The one at the top of the page roared past the 420 factory SEAC on the start finish straight at Snetterton last saturday. Lost the lead again when he had to toss out the anchors waaaayy early for turn 1 though.

Yep, saw it in action at Pembrey earlier this year. Very nice motor under the bonnet. My pics don't do it justice.

Rob from llanelli [ i presume ] my nickname the griff is an old nickname and i own a 400se wedge,and not a griffith.Yes you are right in saying that all brake calipers have bleed nipples but my 400 has 4 on each front brake caliper [ as i found out the other evening !!!! ] hope to see you out on one of our chicken runs sometime.When is the next one Mike?

The problem with griffs is they cost a lot more than all wedges !And is all that dosh worth it compared to a wedge ?

I think seac's are around 10-12500k , thats the price of the cheapest and no doubt not such great condition griff .
