    Either way you put the calipers there is always gonna be a bleed nipple on the top on one side and on the bottom of the other. There is only one bleed nipple per caliper. As said above the only just found out myself on the s14s there is no banjo bolts, so I need to get s14 lines!
    Thanks for the help

Im going to fit the standard calipers back on there now and see how it goes but the only thing I an think of that could be the problem is that the banjo bolt fron the 180 calipers was to long to to bolt into the 4pots so I got copper washers to space it out. Its not leaking and I spaced it out properly so dont see how that would cause a problem. Any help or info appreciated.
    Thanks
    Lad get braided hoses don't ever take a chance with your breaks.
    ie putting on copper washers to build it out
    You will get braided lines on ebay for around €40
    Problem solved
