I have v6 set up on the front and standard drums on the rear, they used to work well! Until I rebuilt the front end and took off the callipers servo & master cylinder!
I refitted the brake set up and bled the system then took it out and tried to stop and had no brakes (I had to use the hand brake to slow me down)
I was also losing some brake fluid so I thought the master cylinder had gone, and all the fluid had gone in to the servo! But there was no fluid in there! So I guess there must have still been air in the system.
I went and bought a new master cylinder just in case, bled the brakes again and adjusted they rear drums and still there is not much braking power!
There is a lot of travel on the pedal and it only starts braking right at the bottom!
The only other thing I have changed is put braided hoses on the front callipers.
Any advise welcome!!
