308mm brakes and fluid change.

just fitted 308mm brakes to the se2 and my pedal still doesn't feel great, i had put it down to brake fade after cooking the pads again but its no better, there's no leaks any where so it looks like ill be doing the master cylinder before the highland tour

I have four pots on mine and it was recommended to use the 5.1 dot.
I have 283 discs on mine and after a few bleeds works fine. I also found the bleed valves on the rears were knackered as well, not enough to be flowing out but enough to noticeably affect the pedal travel.

all sorted now, new fluid and master cylinder it took a bit too bleed it, it just wasnt for playing roll on the tour
