You'll need to remove the bleed nipple from the cylinder you want to use two pipes in. This will give you the 2 holes you need.

Hi Stephen,

Glad you have got her on the road, where she belongs, hope see you out and about this year.

Good luck with the wheel cylinders, worse thing about the whole job is the retaining clips [:(!] My learned friend Jclay has a excellent guide to the rear brakes on his site.

Cheers John
