All good stuff - she looked nice and tidy in Norfolk!

The new replacement air filter hoses do seem to be a slightly smaller bore than original, so are a swine to fit. The rubber feels stiffer, too.

When it comes to working with brake hydraulics, I use these:

Most recently I used one on one of the front hoses when changing a swivel seal. Once all was re-fitted, the brakes came back up to full pressure after two pumps of the pedal, bleeding the old-fashioned way.
