All sorted now, found a mate who knew bike brake stuff. Cleaned up new caliper with spot of dot4 and toothbrush. Ground and filed down mounting bracket on a couple of spots. Bit of kids paint on top of caliper helped to pinpoint exactly which points on the bracket needed more filing. Got a bit unstuck bleed the new caliper, turned out to be the bit of black rubber in the reservoir was actually supposed to have come out with lid... Doh! Ended up sucking it right down and stopped us pumping anything through for ages. That and two duff one-way bleeding pipes off ebay leaking air, caused us to revert to old school with pipe in bottle of fluid method. Ended up taking most of afternoon, but all sorted in the end. Seems like loads of grab now, will have proper test ride tomorrow to double everything.
