First note about the lathe: This is a reputable shop and experienced machinist. I got the drums from Mac`s. I`ve adjusted the shoes so that they are all grabbing the drums properly. I re-bled the master cylinder on the bench and re-did all the lines and have no air in them. What I do have is a pedal that travels 3 to 4 inches before I have any resistance. I`ve adjusted the push rod as far as it will go. Am i missing anything here?
