Re: Excessive brake pedal travel HELP PLEASE
Quick update, I had the race mechanic at work check the car over, he confirmed its not air in the system as you can't pump the pedal up, he checked over the hole system and said everything is working as should be, he said it feels like the servo is over vacuuming, we took the one way valve out of th...

Re: Excessive brake pedal travel HELP PLEASE
Ok cool, I'll give the vacuum bleeding a try, do you use an air fed vacuum bleeder or a hand pump one??

Cheers Scott

Would the sliders give you loss in brake pedal? It had a lovely firm pedal and now you can pretty much push down to the stop
