Reply to "Final Brake Bleeding and adjustments"

PercyMember

Thanks so much for all of the informed and detailed comments.

For the record - the caliper positions are checked as correct. The lower and upper bleed points on the front were done. The goodrich lines are 3- braided high pressure. The calipers were detailed cleaned before reassembly and there is no residual gum anywhere in the system. The bleeders are free flowing.

I wanted to keep all the brake system parts stock to keep the car close to original so replaced both the in line brake valve and shuttle with the original parts.

Feedback from others I have now received are the same as Bosswenches comments - that it is likely with the movable shuttle valve and the movable stock proportioning valve, a rock-hard brake pedal is unlikely.

A tentative shakedown drive has been suggested , then a final re-beed following the action of the booster and the system in general. I will get this done and give some feedback after that.

Thank you to everyone.
