do you still have standard brake servo & set up?
if so do they feel spongey constantly?

if not what set up do you use?

thanks

butler im going on the 21st may

my brakes are spongey, theres hardly anything until my pedal is 3/4 to the floor.

ive bled the brakes manually then put them on a pressureised brake bleeder.

trying to keep costs to a minimum at the moment as ive got more money going out than coming in

ive done some research on pedal boxes but not found anything for under £200 that doesnt require modification in some way.

are there any units that are bolt off bolt on?
