1. Well you are obviously not reading the full forum as I have posted a picture of the new pipe work... just above ^^^^^^^^ 2. Yes a Vehicle Modification Inspector... when I google that it brings up heaps around the world. Try these guys...http://www.eliteinspections.co.uk/services/supercar-modified-car-inspections/ 3. Yes the inspector works towards the government, and yes they do give a certificate to both the customer and in the governments computer system. 4. The brake machine is like a rolling road, but it records the performance of the brake per wheel. http://www.bmtest.dk/Default.aspx?ID=9 Any mechanic should know of all these things.

Well you are obviously not reading the full forum as I have posted a picture of the cleaned backing plate etc... just above ^^^^^^^^

Hello Deep, Yes I like the way you explained the procedure. I used to have so many problems and sometimes it took hours to get it correct. This is why I redesigned the layout. I can fully adjust the brake (as you would normally with any other vehicle) and then bleed the braking system by myself if required. I don't need anything special other than a tube in a bottle like you mentioned. But to let you know, I did have one other person with me while doing it though as it's easier... And as I had mentioned before it came up first time with no issues at all and works great. So my job that used to takes sometimes hours will only take me half an hour if I have a coffee after 15 minutes. Thanks for the comments.

Hello Snagger, 1. Yes we have washed the backing plates, replaced all four front cylinders, all shoes and drums. The picture I took was just to show everyone what I had done. 2. The brake fluid comes from the hose, through a new pipe into the rear lower hole of the cylinder, goes through the cylinder and across the new pipe to the front lower hole, through the cylinder and out the bleed port. 3. New pipes have been made so that the swivel hosing filler has complete access, and the pipes are not going to get hit as they are at the back of the backing plate and make there way over the top. 4. I have looked at both yours and Les's comments about modifying the brakes and being landed in prison... So I called a vehicle modification inspector and he had a look this afternoon... which to reply, there was no issue in safety as all equipment is original and all I had done was relocate the cylinders. He looked at my bracket on the top and said there was no need to have it but it does secure the pipe better. He even drove it around the block, did his usual checks like braking on corners and uneven surfaces, then tested on the brake machine like I did. I'm not here to make you all mad or enemies, just trying to help make everyone's life easier. If you don't agree with what I have done... I don't have a problem. Regards and good luck with your brakes.

Hello Les, Yes the cylinders are staying at 3 & 9. he brake shoes are NOT leading and trailing as they are both the same (as single cylinder slaves only push one direction) I have tested the brakes on a brake machine and they got up to 310 daN. Regarding the pipe work.... the picture was the old piping, so yes it's dirty... the new piping is not.

Well just to let you know, it bled up first time with no problem at all. And this way I can change the fluid at anytime without moving the backing plate over and over. I do see where your coming from, but I hate taking stuff off the car just to do a simple job. Cheers for the comments.

This shows the bleed port (facing upwards!!!) The the last thing you need to do is remake the brake lines and hey presto...

Hello all. Same issue here, but have found a solution to the problem. Customer came in with very poor brakes, that even the left show had worn down to metal and right cylinders were leaking. Since the 109 has two cylinders with the bleed port at the bottom, my brain had a fart and said that wont work, there is no way to get the system bled correctly. So i went on a mission to redesign the setup. Here what i have done. I removed the hub. This picture is showing where the bleed port cylinder is located (marked with white X). Next I unbolted the backing plate and turned the bottom cylinder towards the front of the vehicle.
