Good news everyone.

Managed to do a small test drive today around town just now. Brakes were fine. No leaks. I might need to bleed the fronts once more as there's a wee bit of softness before they really catch (and they do catch good when pressed to the floor!). :thumbsup:

New gremlin found: I seem to be missing my rear right side marker. The thing must have been 'torn off' as everything is missing, the screws, the glass, the rubber, the bulb, the socket, the wires, basically everything. What I don't understand how I did not see that passing it 4 times a day last two weeks (and no-one besides me has access to my garage). :roll:

Correction. I found the wire with socket and bulb buried deep inside the wing. But that still does not explain why a perfect side marker just fell off!

They confused POG (Pot Of Gold) with POR (Property of Rob).

Yes, the plastic retainers are still there.

I must have been sleep-working. Just can't get my head around it. Never parked outside since last winter. Must have passed it at least 50 times without noticing it gone. That, or it felt off during my first spring tour.

I'll probably find it in the back of the garage after the new one arrives from Ed.
