Hello Masataka,
I came to the Gamma event in Lenham in my HPE where

Glad you've found an early HPE, looking forward to seeing the photos.

Hi Masataka
Welcome, that is quite a collection. Is the HPE a Series 1? Peter |

Hi Guy
Simple answer, no idea. I did not take the subframe off, so not sure how it fits. I had assumed your car being a facelift would have the later subframe and mounting points, so wonder if there is more than 2 versions? The thing which is curious on this later subframe is that there are no locating pins and hence just located by the bolts. I would have though the pins give a good reference for the front chassis at the bulkhead. Peter |

I think these wheels were specific (optional?) for the special edition of the coupé named Laser.
Could be that they were only available on the Italian market. |

Hi Steve
Mine was also very crusty and as they are pretty inexpensive, just replaced it. No idea why it would cause your issue unless leaking? As to previous question re isolating, not trivial as you would need to make up blanking pieces which also need to be able to bleed as well. One point on the reverse bleeding. I tried to use a vacuum bleed originally and found it sucked in air via the bleed nipple thread when they were loosened, so made it impossible to see if you have removed all the air. So I would be much more confident with positive pressure from the MC. Peter |

Hi,
Today I tried again to reverse bleed the brakes and managed to pump fluid via all 6 bleed screws back into the reservoir using my trusty syringe. I only pushed about 100ml in each but figured this would be enough to purge the MC of any air. I tried the brakes and they were still as spongy. Next I pressure bled to whole system from the reservoir ......still no different I then had a look at the rear brake compensator and disconnedted it from the ARB. I pulled back the rubber boot and could see that the arm that was connected to the ARB was not acting on the compensator plunger at all. I am thinking maybe the plunger is pushed out by the hydraulic action of braking whuch then interacts with the lever connected to the ARB ? Is this compensator device known to trap air especially if inoperative ? The device itself is pretty crusty but I was able to lever out the plunger with a screwdriver 3-4 mm (took a bit of doing though. Just as a shot to nothing, tomorrows job is to remove this device and dismantle to see if this may be causing my problem. Does anyone have any experience with thse compensation devices ? Cheers Steve |

Welcome to this forum Masataka, hopefully your car will arrive soon and you can post some photographs of this early HPE! Apart from the Gamma (Coupe or Saloon) which others do you have?
I have a Beta Coupe under restoration and a Stratos replica. Guy |

The things you learn! Mine has the locating pin so it must be an early one then. The subframe bolts onto the pyramid shaped brackets welded to the front firewall at it's turn underneath the car. What are the threaded holes for on the later subframe Peter?
