I just bought a completed 33 hot rod, drove it a couple hundred miles and brakes were perfect! As I arrived home on my last run I noticed a soft pedal. Didn't pay much attention until a couple days later , got in and stepped on the brake and the pedal went right to the floor. No evidence of leakage, Reservoirs are right to the top, clear, no bubbles. Perplexing problem. Looking for any suggestions that might help fix it!!!

Thanks!

You will need to chase all the brake lines and fittings and see if there is a leak and address it accordingly.

Hi Gordon; As near as I can figure, if the reservoirs are tip top full there must NOT be any leaks. The pedal is not just soft, there is no pressure at all. I suspect a bad master cylinder which would be unusual for Wilwood first of all and I am dreading lifting the body off to get at the master cylinders if it is. I will eliminate ALL other possibilities first of course. Thanks for your input!
