I have the location in my sat nav. What time are you thinking of?

If you know the size of the grub screws and need some, I may be able to find some.

But.... it'll cost ya!

I reckon 10/10.30am would be spot on but you can meet me anytime you like Gerry. No idea about the grubscrews. They are supposed to be 1.5mm if they are still in there. I believe they were adjusted with a screw driver and hammer last time around.

1.5 mm? I take it that's the key size?

connects to the tyre and then the fluid reservoir pressurises the system so you can crack off the bleed nipples without having to pump the pedal iirc it was the only way i could get my clutch back after removing the slave cylinder
