That's exactly like mine Mike, pitted below the lower triple by around an inch or so, I think Julie has a good plan there, use it now but send them off during those miserable winter months

I might have stuffed you there Dom, I’ve checked my other ones and I put the kit into the one on the bike that’s on now‍

My heads a shed it appears, I might have a spare kit and off out to the Shed of Dreams in a bit, I’ll have a rummage

My bad!

It's moving fluid Roo, whether it's under enough pressure though I'm not sure

I've got two other lines of investigation,  first is that I've used a banjo bolt on the caliper but I believe it is short enough that it doesn't bottom out on the caliper. Second is that the mc needs new seals but Roo thought it was rebuilt so I'm kinda assuming that much.

Tie the lever to the bars and walk away for 24 hours and/or threaten to throw the f*▪︎kn thing out the window.

Yes, pitting is something Philpots in Luton are very used to dealing with, the companies other name is Pitted Forks 😂😂😂. Why not see how they are when you've finished your restoration, you could always send them off to them over the winter to be done.
