Reply to "Brake fluid?"

In Bosswrench's post about eliminating shuttle valve, do you use a coupling for one side and a tee for the other to incorporate the tail light switch? My shuttle valve had a broken plastic lamp switch and was leaking fluid so I made a plunger that fit into a cap plug and into the body of the shuttle valve after centering it so it would not move side to side. I am having problems getting good pedal, feels like air. New master that was bench bled, rebuilt front calipers and bled three times. Still feels mushy. I think I may still have air in the shuttle. Does that make sense? Also, can you remove the shuttle AND the proportioning valve both and have reliable braking?
