We have been trying for several months to bleed the brakes on RHD BN1, to n=
o avail. The car has been professionally restored & appears to be in excell=
ent condition. Today, we tried again to bleed the system following the shop=
 manual. I.E. backing off the adjusters on the front & back & bleeding & th=
en readjusting the brakes. The results were the same. There seems to be an =
excessively large amount of pedal travel before the brakes are engaged & wh=
en engaged they feel "spongy". We have access to 2 other 100's for referenc=
e. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, we are not clear on the adj=
ustment of the free play of the master cylinder.Gary Hodson=C2=A0 =C2=A0
