Hello
i am working on my 1975 914 1.8 , i rebuilt the master cyl , rebuilt right rear caliper , and replaced left rear caliper , replace the grommets on master cyl for resov. lines , i have set the rear brake venting to .008 and bleed the system multiple time , i have no air coming thru system at all , i have brakes now but they just dont seem to be correct , if i stand on the brakes hard they do not lock up while driving, are the brakes on these just that way or dose anyone have any other suggestions on what could be a problem , ... i have no leaks anywhere either and the park brake seems to hold the car under a light load thanks craig |

If its the stock master cylinder - that may just be the way it is. I've long since forgotten what the stock was like after I upgraded to the 19mm master. I have noticed though that pads will make a big difference. I've had performance pads that react great to firm pressure and others that would lock up the brakes every time with the same pressure. I had to relearn how to brake.
Did you also replace pads? That will have some affect also. |
