Pull the handbrake and see if the pedal gets better. If so adjust your
drums.
I assume you've bled the system and all that?
Hope it helps. Keep us posted.

Subject: Crappy brakes
Hi Listers
240 K twin piston callipers, 180b Bendix booster, 7/8" Sanyco
M/cyl
We have had a crappy brake pedal - it has felt 'half' boosted ie
you could push 'through' the booster to feel a higher pressure.
Round town planned stops required only the big toe on the boosted
section (would never lock the brakes). The unplanned/major stops
definitely required max effort, push through the boosted section
to directly activate the m/cyl. I have not been able to bleed or
adjust this out of the booster, m/cyl pushrods for some reason.
The factory driver, my son, now wants to remove the booster.
Partly because he sees the booster being 'to easy' to lock up in
the panic stop and partly to resolve the real issue of crappy
pedal.
Ssoooo any thoughts on this........
Does anybody have experience with running 240K brakes UN Boosted?
What size m/cyl reduces/improves pedal feel??
Ta
Colin
