With regards to my last post......
Tech day, (brake line fitting)
For all the people who may need a bit of help !
And all the people who want to tyre kick !
I've got two sheds and a car port , capable of putting three cars under cover, in case of bad weather.
This post is a test to see if enough people would be interested in a BBQ tech day.
Banagher, County Offaly. Sunday 4th July.
We should have our new brake lines by then !

it that is fine.
Cheers

I'll bring mine, v.handy things to have.. you can bleed the brakes in 10 mins without raising the car off the ground with it.
This is the one

Steve; can you let us, "no brainers", know exactly what we need to have ready
for the day, other than the new brake/clutch lines ?
Thanks Jack

I just realised that I am not sure I have the right set of keys.
I have UK mx-5 - will I need imperial or metric set of keys?
Does anybody know?

Thanks for answer I also got one - it looks like we need 1L of break fluid for complete flush for both clutch and breaks (all together 1L).
I will buy 1.5l just in case. Probably DOT 5.1 Motul as it is supposed to be better choice for ABS which I have.
Factory calls for DOT 3 or 4 - I am also thinking about rbr600 but I probably I am too lazy to change it every 6 months so I will most likely stick to cheaper 5.1.
I will be ordering my soon with some engine oil and other goodies.
Cheers
