Hello Everyone,

Fitted the calipers and lines this afternoon all going good till we bleed the brakes,we started the 911 to build pressure up and to give them a final bleed all going ok till the pedal hit the floor ......... why ......... front passenger caliper seal leaked so we removed it again only to find the casting around the seal had been smashed ........ :cry: all i can say its a good job i was not driving it :cry:
