    Thanks Paul, an interesting read :) Softening the rear seems like the most cost effective thing to do for now then! Glad in heading in the right direction allowing the rear to take more of the transfer

    Ta Andy, the cars track carnt change without affecting the class I compete in. I'm sticking to road class for now. Testing was an airfield track using the return road. The whole setup needs to be Manx/Tarmac Irish/Tarmac B road rally stage friendly. Race/circuit type is no good to me as that's...

    I should say it's was the rear ARB that was adjusted Andy. Yes 4psi increase on the fronts, to be honest the damping on the front I have a lot of free adjustment, it felt better with a softer damper up front. The rears arnt reacting fast enough at the moment it's hitting a rise or bump...

Damping on the fronts set to full hard but this brought on understear and a light steering so was...

    AV22 caliper bleed nipples

    Evening gents thank you all for the help. A few delicate hours with a file but 2.5 threads ground off the stainless bleed screw and it's sealing like a goodun. Typical they are all different sizes!

    AV22 caliper bleed nipples

    Thanks very much for the help guys :) Unfortunately brakes Int is where the new parts came from that don't quite fit. Though iv used then before and always been impressed with them

    AV22 caliper bleed nipples

    Here's the problem, the distance on from the thread to the cones seat is 2mm shorter than the factory bleed nipple so it isn't sealing, but every part number I find is the same!!
