I'm looking to bleed my brakes by myself and want to know what size clear tubing to use to get a tight fit ?

I'm not going to be using my car over winter, it has 50/50 blue antifreez in, should I drain the Rad or leave it ?

Thanks Steven, I think mines running rich going by what you put. But will be interesting to see what it does. You have had yours a very long time, I bet your a master at it now, I remember people in 80s saying they just had the car colour tinned. What is it you turn on the carb, is it just the brass...

Thanks John

That's good to hear Bernie,
Mines bound to running ritch, and yes, I've not seen one with bottle, add said hardly used it.

Very true bill, never done it before so I definitely won't make this mistake again, I'm just thankful of forums like this.

I'll put them on properly tomorrow, thank you Steven and Bernie.
