for the brake booster? Saw a variety of angles today at the Mini50 show - even one pointed backwards and down (now I know that is not right), so what is a good upwards slope to allow proper bleeding?

PBR VH44 booster can be level. Bleed nipple on top.
The old Lockleed one wants to point up a bit, bleed nipple at the end.
10° would do it.

PBR said that they only had to be at a slight nose up angle.
So anything would do. Fit it level and jack up the front to bleed it! :lol:

I thought the holes in the guard set the angle on the VH44?

Only a little is needed in any case..

Post subject:  Booster Position

Talked to Brooker brakes (Sydney) the other day about possible air in the system.
"Colin" was an old Mini guy for a long time ago. He was absolutely fabulous.

Advice ~
Air in the system:
Make sure the power booster has "its nose up a little" allows air to bleed.

Problem solving:
1. Clamp all four flex hoses and test pedal, should be hard
2. Release clamps one at time testing pedal each time. This will tell you which wheel has a problem.

SIMPLE. Hit my head on the post outside and though Doh.
