Just make sure you shorten the thread enough to leave some play otherwise you will get binding.
The other slight git, was the brake light switch which needed modding (Cutting exactly with snips very slowly until it was perfect) to get the correct travel and length on the operating pin. I also had to slightly bend the "L" shaped bracket it locates in to get the light on at the correct time, not a massive job just fiddly.
I also set the lever slightly lower than normal so as not to rest my foot on it when I was "cruising". I have to say since I fitted the Gilles my rear brake has been superb, bleeding it was a slight pain, but in the end took about 20minutes of faffing to get all the bubbles out........Job done, job's a good un.
By the way MKW, how comes your brake fluid has gone black so quick, are you using petrol in the pipe rather than DOT4....?
End Result......
