Went for a short (like 4 times round the block) drive in the blue, newly
rebuilt 1275 Sprite.
OK, only 1.6 miles total, but quite a "buzz" just 'cos it actually goes
after an 8 year rebuild !!!
Just far enough to try all gears, lights, turn signals, brakes . AOK except
brakes.
Inconsistent brake pedal pressure. Sometimes there were brakes, and
sometimes pedal goes straight to the floor.  Thought I had bled all the air
out, and when standing the pedal seems to have reasonable pressure and not
too much travel both with and without the handbrake on.
All new brake cylinders, pads, linings, flexible and rigid hoses, and
rebuilt master cylinder.
What do I check first ?
Will it suddenly come right if I provide a suitable sacrifice to Mowog ?

Guy
