That's not gonna solve anything. When the pedal is depressed the breather port is sealed off from the system, so no fluid can fill any voids created by air. What happens as you press the pedal is, the piston moves down the mastercylinder bore and momentarily (1-2mm ish) after travel has started the pressure seal will have passed the hole that goes to the reservoir (breather port) so the system is then sealed and pressure generation begins. If air or fluid is to be expelled from the system it needs to be replaced by fluid from the reservoir, so the piston (and therefore pedal) needs to be fully released.

Progress was made then RJ?

WTF, Give

Pad retaining clips were installed wrongly in both fr calipers. Seems really odd but it meant the calipers didnt operate uniformly...

Beers aplenty to Lee.
