Last MOT I replaced most of my brake system on a LWB Series 2A Carawagon. New wheel cylinders all round, new pipes (its a single system) and.. here's the point, a new 'pattern' master cylinder from Paddocks. When I got it, it looked a bit smaller than the original Girling job - but as it was sold as a replacement for the original CB type M. cylinder I fitted it. Now of course, Landie brakes are a Bas$%^d to bleed, so I put my inability to get the pedal up tight down to my lack of mechanical skill. Sent it off to the garage, they tried but could only get half pedal after a week of messing about. Then I took it to another garage, they tried for a week and still only got half pedal and poor braking!
I've spent 3 days bleeding the sod myself, using an easibleed. The adjusters are tight to the point of binding, there's no more bubbles coming out of the wheel cylinders, so....
I've ordered another master cylinder just in case that is the problem - BUT I couldn't bring myself to pay £84.60 for Girling where pattern parts are £20ish. Is this my mistake? - ANY suggestions as to where things are going wrong - I mean this should be really simple..... :-(
