- Welcome to the list! Before you start messing with the master - you might check the adjustment of the rear brakes, I had a similar problem with my 74 Midget and the adjustment took care of it. I als

- Sounds like it could be air in the system too. Be sure that when you did the brake job you got the calipers back on the correct sides. The bleeder should always be at the top. Paul PAsgeirsson@juno.c
