Hi guys , I’m having an issue with my 1275gt brakes. The pedal has little pedal feel until you hit the carpet (it’s like the push rod is to short) I’m using a gmc167 master cylinder plumed into a fam7821 brake limiter valve going to standard callipers on the front via a banjo bolt and braided line, and going to mini fin rear drums on the bake via a 3 way split and braided hoses ( all brake system is brand new) any help would be greatly appreciated .

This is how I have plumed the master cylinder into the limiter valve ( it’s the old master cylinder in the photo, I threw the old one in the bin and bought a new one from minispares )

My master cylinder is connected differently to yours, the top master cylinder connection goes to the left side of the limiter valve and connects to the front brakes, see photo

What part number did you buy on minispares?

Jxc mini GT - I first thought that but in the photo you have a yellow tag master cylinder , which to the best of my Knowledge is different

I have thought about just buying a yellow tag but I don’t want to waste the £90 or so it would cost if it isn’t the issue , plus the time to switch it over if I can use my set up as it is
