Re: strange brake behavior

I'm no Brake Wizard, but the only time my Brakes ever went to the floor is 
when my Master Cylinder piston let hydraulic fluid bypass the seals i.e I 
had a bad Master Cyclinder (rebuilt). Many (I'm sure not all) rebuilt
master 
cylinders are not perfectly honed and polished.  I chucked my rebuilt and 
bought a new Master Cylinder and the thing works perfect.

Are you using a rebuilt master cylinder?  This might be the problem
