I have been trying to get some feel in the brake pedal for nearly 3 weeks, trying a whole bunch of different techniques. Nothing changed the way the pedal felt. A side conversation with Greg from Redback Motorsport, and he mentioned that sometimes in new cylinders a piston can get stuck at the top of the stroke, especially if they are actuated before they have fluid in them. Solution, drain the reservoir to about half, put the compressed air hose into the reservoir over the cylinder line, and put a tiny squirt of air down each line to reseat the piston.
Of course I used more air than needed and blew fluid everywhere, but net result after a doing this step and a 5 minute bleed around the car was a pretty clean fluid flow and about 85% of the pedal feel I was after. Said it before, Greg is a legend!!!
