Gordon_M Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hmm, two things you really need to do, both important. 1. A by-the-book adjustment of the shoes at all six hubs. 2. A check of the free play in the master cylinder pushrod. The master cylinder piston needs to be able to come right back and when it does there should just be some rattle in the pushrod end - basically one inch of free travel at the pedal before it starts to move the piston. Bad things happen if you don't have free play there, and people do insist in taking all the free play out when trying to get "better' brakes.

N.O.S. Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 …………3. Check that all 6 brake cylinders are working! They sometimes (or should that be often? ) seize up and this will not be apparent by simply bleeding. Jack each wheel up and get someone to spin wheel while another operates pedal.
