reckon I'll order 4 myself this week Remember that the Hi-Specs take two each so that's four plus your rear fords. That might be why my brakes don't appear to stop the car... I didn't spot the other bleed nipple on the hispecs!

Look carefully at the rear pads as you are bleeding. If the piston springs back a tiny amount as you release the pedal it won't fully draw fluid through. I found a crude work around way was to use a flat blade screw driver to hold the pads tight. Once bled properly you remove the driver and a little extra fluid is drawn from the res to hold it firm when the pedal is released.

Will do; I bought a generic brake caliper retraction tool and modified it to fit the focus rears, but it only works withe caliper fully off.

7mm with a 1.0mm thread, for both the Hispecs and Ford Focus / Lucas rear calipers. Hispecs do have a second bleed nipple each, so 6 needed for the whole car.

Either, depends on how the builder did it.
Should be pretty obvious though.

As above but follow the brake pipe from the hole at the back. If it goes into the centre of the cockpit, its for the rear. If it splits into a "T" piece its for the front.
