Monday night I did barely anything as I'd just dumped all my gear and a crashed NC30 in the garage on Sunday night and it all needed sorting out.
Tuesday I turned my attention to the front brakes. Fitted them and tried to bleed them up but the lever was always coming back to the bar...
So I had a better look at the calipers and pumped them out to clean them up. Whilst doing this a couple of the pistons dust seals tried to make a bid for freedom out of their recesses, so I decided upon a full strip and rebuild. Which after looking forlornly at the broken NC got pushed back to last night.

So I stripped them apart and was greeted by a bit of a mess.

Out came the brass wire wheel on the dremel which makes cleaning out the crap in the recesses so easy. Downside is they shed brass bits so you have to very thoroughly inspect the halves and make sure you get it all out.

After that I cleaned up the seals and pistons, which came up really nice and put it all back together with a good bit of red rubber grease.

After putting them back on they still won't give a good lever. I've left them overnight with a cable tie holding the lever back to the bar, see if that works...
Last thing last night I changed all the mankiest carb screws with good used ones and blocked off the carb heating circuit a bit better than previously.

Then I fitted them up to the bike with the synchronisers in place and filled up the cooling system.

However, the bike would not start for love nor money last night.
After looking at the PDF manual earlier I think I know why. I've got the pump and coil plugs mixed up and plugged them into each other. Moron.
I'll switch them over tonight and hope she fires up as I need to balance the carbs and burp the cooling system to get a proper pressure test out of it to find that leak.
