So threads all tapped! Probably got and extra half to three quarter turn. Plus photo of Calipers with new seals, before tightening the bolts, the seals look like there will be compression now !

So tapped out the bleed valve threads and rebuilt everything with new replacement rubbers!!
Fitted them to the car this weekend, all shimmed and adjusted up. One big bleeding session on Saturday then another go on Sunday! Left the car on axle stands so to check for any leaks! This was done every evening plus some heavy pumping off the brake peddle!! And I noticed something very strange !?? So 4 or 5 days on and NO LEAKS !!!! (Sorry for shouting ) feels kinda strange and good all at the same time
Happy days
Mark.
