Just telling Dave I wanted to bleed my brakes and change my brake pads all round for the Nats, here are some pics.

Ive taken note of what Dave was telling me so I dont expect any problems, Im sure the drums are 11"s

Are there rubber plugs on the wheel cylinder bleeders?

Wayne. You measure them by taking a drum off and measuring the inside diameter of the drum at the braking surface.

While you have the drums off clean out any dust and dirt (don't breath it) and check for any sign of leaks from the hydraulic cylinder in each drum.
