You can find a rubber plug on a hose that comes from your airbox if you want to use that :P

Yeah just make sure you plug the hole, as it makes it run REALLY wierd with a hole there...

We had the HRC kit too. It also makes it dead easy to bleed the rear brake

Obviously too expensive for what it is, but it's still kind of cool, and it's out of the proper race kit which makes it AWESUM!!!1!

So all I would need is that kit, some brake fluid and jobs a good 'un?

What about when it comes MOT time?

Never an issue for us, and ours went through 4 MOT's with it fitted.

I have no issues with the strict guy I use, it holds the fluid securely.

Sweet. Looks like it's bought at the end of the month once I've been paid. That's how skint I am...can't even afford £6 for something I don't really need

If you're buying it from that site I posted they will send it by airmail automatically. The good thing about that is that it's free, the bad thing is that it takes 2-3 weeks to arrive

Apparently there is an option for faster delivery but I didn't see it
