I'm sure you know but if you go RR fuel regulator you'll need to modify the fuel rail and blank off the OEM regulator in the pump, plus fit the return fuel line.
None of that is a two minute job so be ready 🤓

Unfortunately I don't have a Linux laptop but I do have loads of wine  ;D

I'll get there Patrick, just a bit short of time!

Disregard: I found it.

Version 2.3 works on Windows 7 32 bit.

....the auto adjust can't work if there is more than 1mm clearance ie slack on the pads. When I did the rebuild I wound the caliper pistons all the way back ..... the pads might have been too slack.

As @Ardent mentions the locating "nipple", on the pad must be seated correctly, after winding  the piston fully in and ensuring that the cut outs in the piston head are in a N/ S position. The piston may need to be wound out  to achieve this position.
With the pads installed they must be operated/ pumped out with the brake pedal, slowly, firmly and several times until much resistance is felt.
If the wheels are off the ground the wheel/ disc could be rotated and the pumping repeated when the pedal should still feel hard unless the disc is distorted ( you then have another problem).


In this position the pads will be touching the disc, there should be no measurable gap ( certainly  not 1mm) the friction only relieved by the flex action of  the piston seal.

That is the starting position for adjusting the hand brake, the cable for which you will have slackened off before starting the above procedure.

Quote from: fawtytoo on Today at 18:31I very much doubt Windows 98 will work directly on a Windows 7 computer. It won't have drivers for most of the hardware.

Persevere with the VM. Do you have any other USB hardware that you can test with to try and rule out communication issues? A USB drive perhaps and preferably nothing USB 3.0.

Prior to installing new drivers onto the win98 it would see a usb mouse ok but the Greddy software had the comms ports greyed out. I could change parameters / maps etc
Post installing the drivers the comms ports were black but it thought the main unit was plugged in and said online even though it wasn't. I also lost the ability to change parameters / maps etc.
Our IT department are struggling (I'm not that tech savvy) to solve it so they are currently looking for really old pc's to install Win98 on.

I'm actually thinking at the minute I might have to go back to green injectors, fit a rising rate fuel regulator using the stock ECU as I'm running out of time.

I'm away this weekend, on holiday for 2 weeks following Saturday and only have 1 weekend when I get back to get mapped, MOT'd, alignment and then the weekend after is Barbon hillclimb which I'm entered in.

bit of a nightmare to be honest
