rear brakes
#1 rear brakes
I,m sure I,ve read somewhere of a modification with the rear brake calipers to have an extra bleed nipple in a more acessable place for ease of bleeding. Anyone done this?

Hi Steve,
My version, sorry the focus isn't very good:
Hope this helps; the business end is just a double female ended connector to which I welded a short plate with a hole to bolt to the frame. If I did it again I would not place them so close to the end of the subframe (i.e. further from the wheels). If you have no welder, you could clamp them to the frame with a 'P' clip or similar.
Regards,

I made something similar to Simons but to be honest I like the tidier version that Lee shows using the stainless feeds and may swap mine out for something similar.
