If you press hard on the pedal and hold the pressure constant, does the pedal slowly move downwards? If so it could be a worn bore/seal in the master cylinder. Might be interesting to check this, the rear brake shoes. I once found a simular problem was caused by cheap rear shoes, the metalwork of the shoe was actually bending at the point where it enters the adjuster and wheel cylinders. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
