Yup, all lights and blinkers are working fine now, so I changed the brake lines on the master brake cylinder back to front..but no improvement as far as I could tell. this tells me one atleast one thing:
It doesn't really matter how you hook up the front or rear brake lines.
I did a bit of a sloppy job bleeding the brakes, so the pedal is a bit soft on the first press, but still I could tell the brakes didn't improve.
One of my mates swears that it is because the brakes still have to be run in, but I know how new bakes feel and this is much worse
another problem occured that my gearbox was out of oil.. I know it's leaky, but I got stuck after 20 yards on my test drive having lost the power to the rear
filled it up a bit and drove back to the garage.
I think I’ll bypass the brake balancer with the front brakes and see if that might solve something.
