Essential!!
[ Good Call they are invaluable sometimes , especially when the unions are tight and an open ender turns the corners over and for the difficult to get to areas ...do you know what size the moggy requires ? ]

Usually 7/16" AF for brake line union nuts and bleed nipples. A brake spanner is really an essential tool because the union nuts are brass and easily damaged.

Also worth mentioning that for a Morris Minor you need AF Imperial spanners/sockets, Whitworth spanners/sockets and BA spanners/sockets.

If you don't know what spanner you need try all of them! Very occasionally you may come across a metric fastener but this will be a replacement. It depends what has been done to the car over the years.

THIS LINE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWING THE QUOTE SHADING, NOT BEING INCLUDED IN IT.....

KeithL wrote: ↑Thu Jun 05, 2025 10:36 pm There is a 4th (/quote] missing before the line starting "THIS LINE IS SUPPOSED....." which would close off svenedin's reply.

I found the original thread that your example comes from - viewtopic.php?t=78885 and have played with that thread and others with nested quotes.

The missing last (/quote] seems to arise if you quote someone but don't add anything. Thereafter any subsequent quotes of the same posts are all missing one (/quote] so the added text is in the wrong place.

I'll try it by quoting this post in my next post.

So if I type after the quote what happens

It appears after the shaded quote

I thought it was user error by CMG.
I can see Berni's post above does show the new text in the shaded area, that could be because the quote is added to a new post.
In CMG's case the new text is between square brackets possibly added by him?

simmitc wrote: ↑Tue Jun 10, 2025 9:32 am There are some articles that suggest this problem is caused by the Safari browser on IOS posting the BB code incorrectly. It makes the initial nested quote incorrectly, and then anyone following that includes the error, regardless of what browser they are using. This would explain why it seems a little random - we do not display which browser has been used to make a post. If anyone can test this theory and report results, that would be helpful.
