If it helps, there's a rebuild kit, part number H0040.F, costs about £16 from Riders of Bristol with UKBEG discount.

Assuming you fitted the kit correctly, did you fit/anneal new copper washers on the banjos ?

Have you removed the caliper off its mounting and held it above the seat. I had to do this when i goodridged the origional caliper and when i fitted the rear beringer. I fannied around with a syringe trying to reverse bleed and tried using the conventional method to no avail and my thought m/c was goosed. Once i'd lifted the caliper it bled in 10 mins. HTH.

Or push the piston in on the caliper to force the air back through the master cylinder. If you lived close I'd come and do it for you. I find it very therapeutic...

Just be prepared for spillage at the reservoir... it may be violent so cover it as well as wrap it!

Slowly with more mechanical sympathy than a caressing robot...
