[Roadsters] volvo brake conversion

[Bubba]

Close, but you have the lines mixed up.  The rear reservoir (larger one) on 
the master cylinder feeds the front brakes, and the front (smaller)reservoir 
feeds the rear brakes.  Make sure the brake pedal push rod is allowing the 
piston in the master cylinder to fully return (free play).
