i felt there is not enough pressure to pump my twinpot. I've fix a pair of Superstrut twinpot to my ae111 but the pedal felt very spongy. I've bled the brake hose with fresh dot fluid but doesnt help. I have to depress till certain length only the brake start to bite. Brake pad still sufficient

not the booster.
you will need the master cylinder of the donor vehicle.
I've been a bad bad boy. I should read the rules and behave before I get spanked by an admin

ok. i've carry out the test based on this guide. http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/brake05.pdf

and i failed the test under section "air tightness test under load". My pedal immediately kick back. Also i think i semi-failed the booster operating check. The pedal did depressed but not by little, by alot.
