I'm betting someone here has an answer. The Car: '73 2.0, 90,000 miles. 19mm master cylinder. Brake proportioning valve. New Zimmerman rotors and Ferodo pads front and rear. New inner and outer front bearings. New fluid. All parts installed by reputable shop in Silicon Valley. Master Cylinder not leaking. The Problem: Pedal pressure only results in gliding to a stop. Unable to lock the wheels.

Any ideas what's going on? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

If everything is new and tight than it is air, unless the M/C is falty and only the rears are working (stranger thing's have happened). But if you just had the brakes redone, take it back and have them fix it. Thats wrong...
