Reply to "Pantera Brakes revisited"

As I said before, try bypassing the pressure reducing valve in the front circuit.

A really thorough bleeding might help too. Years ago, one of our vendors told me, the secret to bleeding our front brakes was to dismount the calipers, then bleed them while turning them upside down and tapping on them with a hammer. If you try this, make sure you put a piece of wood between the pads that's approx. the same thickness as a rotor. He said our front calipers can trap air bubbles and no amount of bleeding, on the car, will ever get the air out.

Bob Byars used to sell a dual servo booster that (apparently) significantly reduced pedal effort. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of an alternate source.
