Hey guys, I've been through a period of re building on a Seven I bought in Feb. Funnily enough Cock womble's was on my shortlist but I ended up with a rather fetching little red number. Anyway I digress, I have fitted all new coolant hoses, de gunked the header tank, replaced dampers and springs, fitted new A frame and trailing links, cycle wing stays, 22% rack and de wheel carriered the rear end. I noticed a bit of CV grease under the rear so I had the drive shaft out and replaced the boots with new ford ones. I replaced the rear calipers while it was all in bits and fitted braided lines to the calipers instead of hard lines. Heres the rub, came to bleed the brakes and bled the rears, then the fronts which are four pots,last nipple bked in by the last bd to work on the car, nipple would not come undone or now seat properly so now after all this the caliper is off the car and has a sheared bleed nipple. Gutted to say the least. Summer is flying by.

commiserations please
