[T3] Brake bleeding problems

[Henrik Larsson <notchback@home.se>]

I have some problems bleeding the brakes on my 1964 Notch (single
circuit).

I have replaced/rebuilt the front brake cylinders and all brake hoses. I
have tried to bleed the brakes the way the Haynes manual tells, but
without success. There seems to be an infinite amount of air in the
system. I have probably used a few litres of brake fluid, but there is
still air bubbles in the fluid. I have always had fluid in the
reservoir, so no air can have entered that way.

Is it possible that air can be sucked in at the pipe between the master
cylinder and the reservoir? Or is there something else that may cause
this infinite supply of air bubbles in the system?
