That is odd. I ordered the IPD kit from them just over a month ago - maybe I got the last one is stock?

The only advice I have is to bleed the MC first before attaching the lines (I attached short lines, and then attached clear hoses which went back into the M/C reservoir and kept pumping the pedal which circulated the fluid until no there were air bubbles in the hoses). This got the air out of the M/C before attaching the brake lines to it and made bleeding the system easier.

Be thorough in bleeding the brakes. Air bubbles appeared long after I thought I had completely bled a line. Bleed from each wheel starting the farthest from the MC (rear passenger side) and then each wheel in turn that brings you closer to the MC. It can be messy - use gloves and keep it away from painted surfaces and anything you value. If your pedal feels mushy then re-bleed until firm.
