Iv'e been doing a few things here and there just slack at posting any progress. Got my RX7 brackets made properly this time just need to tap out the outer holes on the brackets then tap the ears on the struts to bolt the brackets up. Fuel tank has a coat of satin black paint its not too bad you'll never see it anyway just need to find the other rubber thing that sticks to side as I lost one . Vacuumed the boot out man what a mess that was! Once I've found the rubber thing tank will be going in for good and fuel lines will get sorted. Bought a 7/8 m/c from the states that turned up at work yesterday, got home hoping that it would bolt up no worries but I was wrong grrr. Its from a 720 ute but thought they would be the same. The 15/16 one from a 280zx I have fits fine just the bleed nipples are on the wrong side. I might be able to take a bit of material out of the spacer that bolts to the booster and hopefully will fit up then, any thoughts? Clutch master is fitted up for good got that ages ago and only recently got round to installing it. Brackets for adjustable rear end are made hopefully mocking it up this weekend!

Can you swap bleeder to the other side? is there enough meat in the cylinder wall, could someone with skills add some? You could almost remove the end of the bleeder and bleed through the pipe nut, not ideal, but it can work. You could bench bleed it before you remove the end, you could remove it to bleed in the future, real fag but could work. Vacuum bleeding can overcome the fact you haven't got a bleeder.
Can you fit the bleeder in the end of the cylinder?

Ive usually not had to use the bleed nipples when on the car with brake master cylinders as they bleed up fine from dry. You could bench bleed and whack some block off bolts in then put in the car (without getting Brake Fluid on your paint).

Its usually Clutch M/c that gives the trouble - always bench bleed as best as you can then make sure everything else related to the clutch line and slave cylinder is ready to go and bolt it up.

they always feel like they are not bleeding up, but ive found once you get it they kinda self bleed the last part (kinda weird sounding but it works.)

Great work too dude your motoring along now.

How much too big is the spigot Greg?
Maybe we could turn down the O.D. of the MC to make it fit?
