Thanks to everyone who responded- you were really a big help. I pulled the
caliper off
yesterday and put 100 psi air to it just to see what happened. One of the
pistons had
lots of bubbles so I assume that was the leak. When I removed the seals I
found that I
had not damaged them during installation but I think they were low quality to
start with-
they looked like they had been cut with a hack saw- sort of wavy, scalloped
edges. I also
checked a few unused seals from Moss left over from the last attempt and they
have the
same lousy appearance. Anyway, I ordered a new high quality seal kit today
from the
Nock's at British Car Specialists along with some red rubber grease and will
hopefully
get it right this time.
Thanks again-
