On your HQ front calipers, where is the bleeder screw?
If they are anything like KH single piston calipers on 68 + fords, they can be put on upside down & when bleeding it does not get all the air out. The bleeder should be positioned so that all the air will be bled out when they are bolted correctly. Worth a look.
Have you ever bled the brakes on a MINI ? nightmare the bleeders are at the bottom of the wheel cyls
Unfortunately yes.
I did my apprenticeship at a shop where we prepared Rally, Production & Sports Sedan Minis, along with many other rally, road racing & speedway cars.
Owned many Cooper S Mini's, even had a Cooper S van, real sleeper that one. Used it for chasing & servicing rally cars. After all these years, I still love them.
Looking for a Mk2 Cooper S for a friend in the US if anyone knows of one for sale. He has a vintage MG collection & wants some more oil on his workshop floor (controlled seepage as the Poms call it).
Sorry, back to the brake problem.....
