I have fitted 1.6 sport brakes to my 12v (discs, pad, calipers and carriers) but I have been bleeding the brakes for about an hour and their is no improvement in pedal feel, i.e. it goes all the way to the floor with no resistance.
But if I pump the pedal then it gets some feel after a while but goes if I stop pumping.
Help, please.
Any ideas or suggestions?

The nipples are at the bottom.
Is that the problem then.

They are wider to fit the vented discs.
Will I notice a difference with the 1.6 sport brakes over my 12v brakes?
