The pipe must go in the top or you will have a hard time getting the air out of the system. Cant at this time remeber the nipple order.

I would have thought that a nipple would occupy the uppermost hole to be able to bleed any air which maybe in the caliper!

hi thanks for that so just to confirm the main feed pipe goes to the top hole and the link pipe loops to the bottom hole
as for the nipple order i have just got hold of a metro book and it says
1 nsr
2 osr
3 nsf outside
4 nsf inside
5 nsf top
6 osf outside
7 osf inside
8 osf top

has anyone had any problems doing it like this
thanks david
