Brake Travel

[NFS 32]

Hi all,

 

i have made new brake lines all round and have removed and refitted the brakes, i have bleed the brakes and the pedal is firm, and holds firm, and no leaks. however i took the 205 for a spin around my workshop yard and the pedel travel is quite far for what i would expect. it brakes and brakes well. just seems to be more travel than i would expect there to be, i think i have the standard 1.9 brakes with braided hoses all round.

 

could it just bee a little bit of air still in the system?

Sounds like it - with a standard setup, there shouldn't be excessive travel on the pedal.

Thanks will bleed it and see if it imporves, can you tell me if this is the normal setup

Looks stock 1.9 to me.

Yeah thats what i thought, i used two different makes of DOT4 brake fluid to fill the tank and bleed the system, could this cause the travel>?
