Update on the brakes so far.
Fitted new sintered sbs pads on Tuesday, only done 20 odd miles so far but they do seem to have better bite, hard to tell yet as I'm bedding them in.
Fitted new HEL braided lines and fluid today and to be honest I'm not that impressed. Haven't taken it out yet but the lever is only very slightly less spongy at best.
I know that leaves the master cylinder, but is it likely to need re furbed at 10,000 miles, although it is 14 year old?
I cant get my head round how caliper piston seals could make that much of a difference, especially when they don't leak.
