Ken, did you inform your wife that the brake pedal is the one in the
middle? Oh ouch. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Anyway, it sounds like your PDWA is tripped. This would close off
the front hydraulic circuit and leave the back functional. It's easy to
trip this when bleeding the brakes. Recentering the piston can be as
easy as opening a line and pressing on the brakes till 1 click is heard,
or it can be somewhat more difficult, involving partial disassembly of
the PDWA unit. Your Haynes manual will outline the easy centering
method, and should also explain how the PDWA works.
If you need an O-ring kit for the PDWA, I believe Roadster stocks
them.
Good luck.
