I have been struggling to bleed the brakes on my car and can't figure out what is going on. Here is what I have..

New pmb stainless solid brake lines
New pmb restored rear brakes
New pmb restored bias valve
New stainless steel flex brake lines(possible issue?)
New 914 rubber master cylinder (possible issue?)
New resealed 911 s calipers by me.

I have bled the system with a motive bleeder, old school method, gravity and had somewhat of a pedal but as I was pressing on it the pedal went to the floor like there was a leak. I have found no leaks.

So the question is could the stainless flex brake lines be the issue? Could the 914 rubber MC be the issue? I am just curious as I know they were semi new when I got mine..

Any insight? Any suggestions?
