Could anybody try to help me out a bit here....? I purchased a set of rubbers for the shockabsorbers, upper mount, but now I'm not sure if it is for the front or the rear shocks.... This is the purchased item ![](http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4818/img4968k.jpg) Original front upper mount ![](http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3968/img4969q.jpg) Original rear upper mount ![](http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/1743/img4970i.jpg) My problem now is that the new set, looking at just the parts, seems to be a set for the rear, since the just have the one "cup". But when looking better at the parts, sizewise it looks like it is for the front, since these are about the same size, and the rear parts are almost twice the size of the new and the orginal front parts. ![Huh](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Yes! Finally got the rear caliper back together again today. Been strugling with the handbrake part of it for some days, not being able to compress enough to get the levershaft through. Seems like I started out with the piston set to deep in the caliper so the prodruding shaft would not go deep enough to allow the levershaft trough. so after twisting the piston some turns out, I still wasn't able to get the shaft trough, even when compressing the springs in a heavy duty press at work.... Just a little twist of the protruding shaft, and it sank right on down, allowing for more than enough workspace for fitting the wegde, spring and levershaft effordlessly! ![Grin](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif) So, with the tough part of the job done, all that remains now is fitting all the calipers and holder to the car, bleeding the system(brake and clutch) assembling gearlever alongside the clutch(had to be removed for workspace of stuck clutchslave), assembling and mounting shocks and springs, and then it is ready to go into winterstorage( hopefully before the snow surprises me like it did last year and my baby has to endure a whole winter outdoors....)

Looks good. Only one remark. The tensionsprings on the rear should be like this according tot the manual. ![](http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/4272/p1000475mediumnf4.jpg) One stupid thing about it. On the front they need to be mounted like yours. Strange, did they drink to much when drawing the manual or is there a reason?

Hmm, went down to to some of the final work on my car for the season. Last thing left to do was to bleed the brakes. Used a bleed kit with a oneway-valve fitted, so no need to open and close the bleedvalve for every push of the pedal. Front curcuit went just fine, stream of bubbles and the solid stream of brake fluid. Rear curcuit on the other hand..... Sat there, pumping away til the cows came home..... No reaction at the bleedvalve. Put the hose in the ear while my assistent pumped the pedal. Not a sound.... Something is seriously wrong. Shouldn't I be able to hear the sound of some passing wind( ![Grin](http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ) through the hose? And since something is wrong, what coukd it be? Even if some of the seal were put the wrong way, some pressure should be building up? On the front curcuit there has even trinkled enough through the pipes that it came out of the not tightend bleedvalve without applying pressure to the pedal. Is there anything in the distibuton valve fitted ahead of the right rear wheel?
