Thanks Bill and Pete, you guys were right on! The night I was getting the
low pedal I actually re-adjusted all the shoes to have a slight drag, but
never went back to check the pedal. After your emails - first thing I did
was pump the pedal - turned out to be nice and firm at the top. Went
through the full bleed sequence just for good measure. Ready to Roll.
Thanks again!

>>Continued to RR, RF and then LF until no
more air bubbles. Brake pedal was only firm towards the end of travel.
Went through the whole bleeding sequence again. Brake pedal got a
little
better, but still travels half way before it starts to get firm. <<
Like Bill said check the adjustment.
Several years back I overhauled the brakes on my wagon and ended up same
way.
Bled brakes but had a low hard pedal.
Never occured to me that the little bit of extra clearance would do that.
A real hair tearer outer.
A funny thing:
I replaced the leaking M/C on my 64 four door a couple weeks ago and left
it sit over night.
The next day had brakes! Topped off fluid again.
Yes I'll have to do a proper bleeding before it goes on the road but at
least I won't drive it into something.
