Just installed vt brakes on my vlt. Replaced the 1" master cylinder with a brand new one. Bleed the brakes and I still have no pedal. Any suggestions??? Cheers

Does it go straight to the floor with absolutely no pressure or is it like a really soft sponge? And does is change much with the car on/off?

Can you pump it up so it goes hard without the engine running? Cheers Marty

Sounds kind of like air in the lines to me, pump the pedal, start the car and let it run for awhile and it should feel a bit softer with the booster on but you may find it works a bit better but if it still doesn't improve definitely try re bleeding it again. Gotta be patient with bleeds... I was on my passenger front wheel alone for like 45 minutes getting air out...
