1985 30th Anniversary

Post by Potatoes »

I have a 1985 30th that I've been working on getting back on the road and I'm struggling with a brake problem that has me at a complete loss.

I've recently replaced the master cylinder and wheel cylinders on the rear drums(as well as installed new hardware). bleed all lines completely evacuated any air that could be in there and I have no pedal until the absolute very bottom of the pedal travel. I even swapped the master out for another new one suspecting I had gotten a bad part. I can't see it pushing fluid on the ground anywhere and the reservoir doesn't go down either.

At this point any suggestions would be great. and thanks for the help!

Are the drums adjusted correctly? Are the old brake hoses expanding?
Did you ever stop to think and forget to start again?
