I am restoring a 66 AH Sprite and I'll post pictures real soon. My first LBC and it looks so good. It has the old style master cyclinder as opposed to the dual can version. I replaced the front disk calipers and rotors. I replaced the rear cylinders, and shoes. The rears seemed to bleed well. The front bled but the adjuster screw really allowed the vacuum bleeder to suck a lot of air too. But I got clean fluid from them eventually. Before the rebuild, stopping required a lot of forethought and pumping. I just tested the system and the brakes pump up after several pumps but then you have to do it again in a very short time if you want to stop again. What would cause this total brake fade? The clutch sharing the same master cylinder does not engage until the pedal is practically on the floor. Is this related? If not then can the clutch pedal be adjusted to engage without all the free play?
Your help is much appreciated. I could not find this exact topic so forgive me if I missed the same question.
