Bled the brakes again today, I'm pretty sure I saw a couple bubbles bleed out as I'm using clear tubing into a plastic bottle. I tapped each caliper and MC to help dislodge any air. The peddle is still too soft and requires pumping to actually stop the car. My MC was in pretty bad shape with a couple spots of rot inside the cylinder but I figured if it was in a criticle area it would have given me trouble before. Maybe it was but the peddle was not soft. I may have pumped a lot of air into the lines trying to reprime the MC after I cleaned it out. I also have a fitting in the MC where the front brake line connects that won't stop dripping. It is tight as I dare go. So now I'm beginning to think I may need to replace the MC and re-flare the brake line. I was really hoping to find out exactly how much improvement from just the pivot ratio change. I hope to get this solved, it's really frustrating.
