[Healeys] re-bleeding brakes

[HealeyRick]

David,

Isn't the right rear farther away from the M/C than the left rear in a LHD
car?

When bleeding brakes always work from the longest distance to the 
shortest distance from the master cylinder. On all the Healeys you 
would do left rear, right rear, left front, right front.  No reason 
to start at the master unless you are installing a new master cylinder.
