Hi everyone am running out of things to try and any advice would be appreciated.
Updated front brakes on my TVR wedge to AP Princess 4 pot calipers and am having real issues with pedal and air.
Pressure bled with one man kit for half a day and no visible air after going round and round they have 4 bleed nipples per side !
On the road pedal varying and comes up with pumping but not confidence inspiring or safe.
Weird thing also is when reversing after a run the pedal drops even more when backing up ?
I also need to add I changed the master cylinder also after it failed on a previous run so really not sure where the air is.
Am I missing something here or do I now go to pressure bleeder at a higher pressure or go back to two man method?
To be honest should have just rebuilt the standard calipers as these feel worse on the road and don't seem worth it !
All the best
Brave heart
