bee's dick away from having my 86 tray top ready for inspection and rego.
Had the rear chassis rails stripped completely for painting, so rear brakes lines, diff and proportioning valve thingy have been removed. Just put it all back together and got fluid back through the system (front had some old fluid in, rear was empty and reservoir was empty - it fell over on it's hoses cuz the dash was out) I've bled the rear left drum, took awhile to get fluid but it's nice and clean and air-free now... tried bleeding the proportioning valve thing on the right hand chassis rail halfway down but couldn't get anything out of it...? Moved on to the fronts and no matter how much I bleed them, both sides get air bubbles coming out. pedal is spongey as fk too >:( drove up the drive way, and as expected, doesn't want to pull up in a hurry, and the pedal goes down a fair way. I like nice high, firm brakes, don't like a pedal halfway to the floor before I stop. Have I got a bad seal/air leak somewhere or is it something to do with the valve thing halfway down the chassis rail for the back brakes? a master cylinder/reservoir issue? any help would be appreciated... just wanna get on the road, I've had the thing nearly two years now and it's so close to ready
Cheers
