Well, I think that I got the brake situation figured out. As per suggestions
from a couple people I went back out the car the next day hoping that gravity
had worked and the air bubbles had escaped. I also checked the brake failure
switch fitting and it was loose. I tightened that switch up and then tried the
brakes. It still seems like a bit of pedal effort, but this is the first
manual brake car I have driven, so I am not sure of what the pedal pressure
should feel like. The car definitely stops. btw, some had mentioned the
rubber hoses failing, but I forgot to mention that I had replaced those about a
month ago, albeit with the original material (my budget prevented my purchase
of braided stainless).
Thanks again,
Zach
