<div style="color:black;font:12pt Comic Sans MS,sans-serif">We are having a very difficult time adjusting & bleeding the brakes on a friend's BN1.
<div>The car has recently under a full ground up restoration so things like brake lines including flex lines are new, seals in the brake cylinders are new, the master cyl. is new, etc.</div>
<div>We bleed the system so many times different way that I have lost track. </div>
<div>We have adjusted the free play to assure that the plunger is able to return to the full "off" position.</div>
<div>When we adjust the operating rod to achieve the specified 1/8" free movement at the pedal.</div>
<div>We have adjusted the brake shoes to have a very slight drag at rest.</div>
<div>Our issue is:</div>
<div>Excessive brake pedal travel before the brakes begin to be effective. </div>
<div>Pumping the brakes temporarily improve the pedal travel issue, which we think indicates air still in the system.</div>
<div>We are not having any leaks & the reservoir port is functioning correctly, IE: no locking up of the brakes. </div>
