Tigerers,
First of all I want to express my appreciation to all who have provided
guidance on my caliper project.
I have pulled both calipers and found one fully functioning "piston". After
seeing the scary condition of the braking system I highly recommend
following the recommended service intervals for bleeding/replacing brake
fluid. All four pistons showed signs of surface corrosion. Caliper bores
were less damaged and cleaned up nicely with a little elbow grease.
Actually found a local source who had few packets of red rubber grease (Try
the local range rover service counter).
Question: Has anyone tried the speed bleeder product? I have heard good
things about them from the 510 community. Would like to try them on my
Tiger (no personal interest in the company). Here is their website.

Does anyone know the stock bleeder fitting thread size/pitch?
thanks and regards,
Bill Lawrence
