ok old rubber lines are off.

as per the instructions i have checked the fit of the bolts, the master cylinder one is fine, however the two calipers ones are the wrong "pitch"

do i,
a) use the original suzuki ones
b) contact Goodridge and ask for the other type

also how to i remove the fluid from the caliper? just open the bleed nipple?

lastly, i remember reading that the washers are prone to fail on some models, mine are copper, will i be ok with these or should i swap them for the original steel ones?

thanks

use the original bolts and the new washer,
copper ones are better than steel ones, but you only get 1 use out of them,
when you bleed the brakes the old fluid will come out in the process.
