Has anyone managed to fit an RS disk with anti drive to a jet with fat dampers? There are no instructions and I'm not sure it can be done. Maybe you need slimmer dampers not sure.

Had more than a few problems yesterday with this kit and had to through the towel in and revert to the old brake after many hours. We were not able to get any hydraulic pressure, tried two brake hoses gave up after running out of light and missed the cup final.

Before trying to fit this again, I want to check it can fit and two it will work

Dose anyone know if it can be fitted, I have been offered a refund which is fair but they think it can be fitted with standard jet dampers I can't see it working? No room

Go to the Chemists and buy a large Hypo Syringe (be prepared for some bewilderment ;) ) then attach it via some plastic pie to thr nipple and use it to suck the fluid through. Got that tip off Mark (Tidd) on here and it works a treat 8-)

If using the supplied banjo bolts they bottom out before crushing the washers so either modify them, fit fatter washers or change to better ones .

You can get that problem if you use some aftermarket hoses [some have thinner heads] with the supplied banjo bolts. That shouldn't stop you from bleeding it though, just that it'll leak.

I stopped supplying them with the supplied hose and banjo bolts and now only use Venhill ones. I couldn't trust that the banjo bolts flowed properly and ended up filing a grove across the flow hole on both sides and drilling out the inner as some weren't drilled cleanly. No such issues with Venhill.
