Brief Description:  Continued bleeding and eventual completion of brak

After a difficult day yesterday with bubbles continuing to enter I inspected my improvised system and found suspect joints where I thought air might be entering, the system was thus dismantled and repaired and revised accordingly. Even with the new system I was having a hek of a time trying to get rid of bubbles which would dissapear only to reappear when pumping the pedals or some even just after time where small bubbles would show up which were wither missed before or had been hidden or trapped in the cylinders again. Discussing the problem lead to the concept being properly explained to where I finally understood fully the workings of each part and the braking system as a whole and what the bleed is actually supposed to do. I was now satisfied that air was not entering where I had thought and had spent time repairing. One last try at the bleed with some help for simultaneous pedal pumping eventually got us to where the brake lines were free of bubbles and working properly but only on the left side. It was decided that the problems had been solved and all the was required was a final bleed of the right side which could be done easily and at any time. With some considerable time having been spent on the brakes I decided it was sorted for now and moved back to completing the front deck and fittings which involved riveting the frames to the cabin permanently and fitting and removing the shroud skin and panel to keep it all aligned properly throughout.
