Not sure if they are MK1 i got some hydros from ebay and i can not get them to work i think the problem is the master cylinders

Bung a photo on to help identify them.

Do the have a black plastic top on the master cylinder and a bellows on the operating lever?

You have IMO one of the best braking systems available but I need to see photos of the hubs with the calipers mounted AND the servo set ups. I would'nt go back to the old ones for anything.

First thing to do is check the operation i.e take the caliper off the hub and see if the piston is moving when you operate the lever.
Then check for leaks, then blockages, if all is fine check all your bleed nipples haven't been over tightened as this will damage the internals of the master cylinder and the nipple (they did change them at some point for an idiot proof version)
It looks like you're using the Lauterbacher brake fluid, no matter what anyone else says, use the right stuff, hobbytek is probably the best place to get it from.

If all else fails but things seem like they should be ok, then strip the system down and put a seal kit in.

p.s I could really know what is wrong rather than "i can't get them to work."

Hi Mike

Thanks for your help it is much Appreciated on this. Yes i am using the lauterbacher fliud i was told by rapid racing to use this. I have just brought the green fliud from my modle shop so i will try this. I will ad photos later i have Magura on rear and Collari brakes on the front.

These are the photos of the brake leavers. The calpairs are moving but they do not close all the way. If i need a seal kit were would be the best place to get one thanks again for you help
