Any help would be appreciated.  I have a 74 TR6, and have just rebuilt the
brakes (along with doing a frame off which is another story).  I finished
bleeding the four wheels, but the pedal is still soft.  I have not rebuilt
the master cylinder.  Every time that I press the pedal down (say about
halfway) I get a 'click' and then when I release the pedal I get air
bubbles in the brake fluid reservoir.  Each wheels were bled until I got
no bubbles.  I am puzzled as to how I can get the air out of the system.
Also the pressure switch appears to be centered, as I was able to bleed
the drums, then the disks and get fluid at all four wheels.  Any
suggestions would be appreciated.  I am using Dot 4 synthetic brake fluid.
