Finding parts for my "fix'er up'er"

I'll have a look in the manual once I get home.

thanks, the manual I have doesn't say sizes.
My problem is that my brakes have no obvious problems left to fix and I still have a soft lever with huge travel. My master cylinder has 1/2" stamped in the front it, would be an easy check if someone could please

My manual gives no sizes either, My gpx Brakes (apart from worn pads) always felt good except for when a piece of grit made its way into the brake line and would lock the brakes on hard if i merely touched the lever (this happened when i was on my way to dit my restricted test

)

i assume you've renewed the brake fluid, and sufficiently bled the lines? did you do this with the caliper/master cylinder on or off the bike?

Flick it to me if you like, I have a licensed version of acrobat, and could probably convert it to a more friendly file type.
Alternately, I could probably host it on my (slow) website
Was the size the issue with KB?
