Right, I'm getting nowhere fast with the brakes, and could really go with some input. I've taken done videos to try and show the issues.
Problems I can see:
the balance bar doesn't seem to be moving as I need. It pretty much just goes back and forwards at the same angle.
The rear m/c literally needs 5mm to be fully on. The front needs at least 20 to be fully activated.
Video 1-
Everything is connected. The balance bar is approx 45 degrees as it should be and the rear mc rod is shortened. This is with the pedal pressed as hard as possible. As you can see the rear m/c throw is so short that the front barely moves.
Video 2
This is with the rear m/c removed. As you can see it literally barely moves. But it does work the rear brake even at this small movement.
Video 3
This is with the rear m/c removed from the pedal box. As you can see the rod travel is quite long. At its fullest extension the brake pedal is nearly touching the floor and there is very little pedal pressure.
My thoughts:
I think that my issues are 2 fold. I think there is an issue with the rear m/c as I don't believe that the throw can possibly be supposed to be that short. Secondly I think that the fronts are bled properly. It was all bled with both m/c in place. This would mean that when the front calipers were being bled that the rod was hardly being moved at all, this leaving air in the system.
When the box was put together the rear calipers didn't bleed as no fluid was getting to them. I tested the m/c..seemed fine..put it on the car ..no output. Eventually it just suddenly started flowing fluid, and seemed to bleed fine.
Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I'm going back to OEM.
Cheers
