evo calipers are totally pointless if there' s no braking power in the first place;-) :lol: i lowered it a few months ago when i fitted my whiteline rear arb and gabs:-D i just wanted to keep it simple for the mot mate and to fit those calipers you need to drill the bolt holes hubside because the evo calipers have a larger retaining bolt(s) knowing me i' ll only :mong: it up and have to source new hubs:doh:rayman75 said:
i was hoping on making a suprise visit at Allans RR day on sat but i think that idea is going to go poo shaped:roll:
Carl, quite unsurprisingly there was nothing stuck under the pedal......;-) and its not because i over tightened my mastercylinder stopper either lol

if that new brake bias valve dont work stu, then the only other thing i can possibly think of is that theres a kink in one of those brake pipes somewhere on the bulkhead, so check those aswell to make sure.
really baffled by these brakes, never had one i couldnt sort out upto this. very strange indeed
are you sure you havent been a tightass and used your own special concoction brake fluid made from alcohol and brown sugar and youve added too much sugar!:lol: :lol: :der:

i found a post from one guy where he had no brakes to three wheels and kept locking up the fourth but nothing anywhere about one of those bias valves failing with 80% loss of brakes:?
if i make like Mr Tickle i can get my brake line spanner on 5 of the line connections its just one bugger im having trouble with, is it too late in the evening to get the grinder out?:lol:

**** it i might as well go get one from Bob and change it, it would be poetic justice for it to be the master cylinder:1bar:stumo said:

i know it may sounds like a mongtard response ol' pop pop but what things havent u checked like even down to the brake pedal mechanism itself and/or and wire connecting it (cant remember the layout of the pulsar now ) but i had my van clutch bugger b4 checked everything on it and was still scratching head untill i checked the clutch cable and it had frayed inside the plastic wrapping and was catching on it ! . Also is there any chance of a blockage in any of the lines? maybe drain fluid out and try to purge lines with nitrogen or a dry inhert gas to see if there is any blockage. dunno if it all sounds silly but just trying to help .

man am i pissed off:sad: i managed to get the bias valve off with only minor issues, upon inspection i found that the end section of the block which is screwed on (the bit with the sticker) had severe damage around the screw heads:? iv no idea why someone would dissassemble it tbh but they were so badly damaged i cant get them out to look inside:roll:
i noticed that one of the feed holes in the block had little bits of metal around the thread and when i tried to fit the new valve the damn thing wont do up! :censored: :censored: :censored: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:
iv checked the threads on the female sides of both parts and this confirmed that its the hard pipe male fitting which is ****ed:doh: does anyone know which size pipe i need, what type of flare to use and what size the 10mm male fitting is?
i guess this means i need to replace the whole thing now:roll: its one that goes to the abs so its not that bad but i was wondering about what i need to do the job? halfords are shut so i dont know if they sell the piping, fittings, flaring kit and bending tool:roll: that lot looks expensive for 18inch' s of pipe i was hoping someone might have one....;-)
cheers, stu

I'll look in the garage later as I stripped all my ABS out of mine, I'm not sure if I chucked all the pipe work out, Or put it on a shelf somewhere.
