[Mgs] brakes

[James Schulte]

I've always had success bleeding brakes even on my MGC. But, my 70 B is 
really giving me a tussle. I have braided lines in the front and a simple 
rubber line in the back. I've always used a peddle pusher whom would press 
on my command after I would open the screw then I would close it and have 
them release the peddle. It's always worked on the second or third bleed 
after a test drive. But this time it just doesn't want to cooperate. I've 
replaced the MC with a new one from Moss. Has anyone had issues with them? 
Any blow by in the cylinder. Problem is, I don't see any leak, so how do I 
know?
I'm not seeing any leaks anywhere and the air bubbles in the lines go away 
with several pumps and releases. Only to come back after a test drive and a 
soft peddle upon braking on the road.
If it is a bad hose, how do I tell? Have the pusher depress with the screw 
closed? Will the rubber actually bulge? Would this cause air to get in the 
line if no leaks are apparent?
I have bled this system 5 times already with no success. I get a firm peddle 
after closing the screw and then go for a test drive and it goes back to 
being soft. Help!
