[Mgs] Bleeding brakes question...

[Robert's New iPad]

   The MGB workshop manual says to do longest first. MGBs initially had a single circuit, then two, and a shuttle-device that would indicate if one system were leaking.  
   I suppose, and this is just supposition, that the longer lines have the possibility of more air therein, the shorter ones to front disc brakes move more fluid, so our bleeding longest first would be least likely to cause that valve to indicate a leak fault.
   Mine does indicate such a fault, as it leaks right through the $55 plastic switch, the inside fender paint showing that.
