The master cylinder has been rebuilt and modified for the disc brakes. The system has been bled over and over again. The car just doesn't stop as I think it should. My standard is my TR3. The Bugeye braking isn't even close. As far as I'm concerned, the Bugeye isn't safe to drive. What have I missed? Thoughts? Thanks,
