Might pay to "reverse bleed" it, connect a tube from NS brake caliper nipple to slave nipple then use brake to pump fluid back up to the reservoir.

If the pedal is high it wont be air :wink: Can you feel resistance when you press the pedal :?: Have you fitted the correct clutch :?: :?:

I am thinking the clutch is wrong myself tbh. Only reason for changing is my dura mass give in so gone with single fly wheel conversion my old clutch is like new but am I right thinking it will not work with single fly wheel conversion as being it’s come from dura mass o
