[Mgs] spongy brakes

[Stephen West-fisher]

I used to have a real hard time bleeding my B brakes, even harder than the
series II Land-Rover. Then I get serious about setting the pedal free play.
Immediately got a little air out and the brakes have been great ever since.

With two MGBs I find I have to bleed in two stages - normal filling/bleeding

with a continuous flow device such as the Gunson's EeziBleed, then I have to

get someone to press hard on the brake pedal while I briefly open and close 
each caliper nipple in turn, and this always blasts a bit more air out. 
Until I do that the brakes are spongy, and a long initial pedal, even though

I can get no more air out with the EeziBleed.
