Two hours in and I have working brakes at both ends and a working clutch. Thanks Luddite.
Tried the PTFE tape and it worked a treat, front brakes all bled within 20 minutes. The rear took a little longer as the system was completely dry and a miniscule master cylinder in an awkward to reach spot.
Clutch problem also sorted. The issue was of course the missing 10mm spacer required on later slave cylinders. What I thought was some form of hydraulic lock was in fact the piston completely at the end of its travel within the slave cylinder.
I may yet have a problem with the clutch as the stack height was more than the recommended 38mm and I appear to have a dragging clutch with the pressure plate fully disengaged (turning by hand only). I will have to hunt through all my second hand plates to see if I can find a couple of 1.5mm steel ones to put in insted of the 2mm steel ones
