Can I just get a bit of advice from anyone with finger brakes fitted?


Mine seem to be a bit odd.  Firstly, if i just pull a single one of them it
will hit the stop, whereas if i pull them both they have more feel and don't
hit the stop quite so much, however they seem to respond better with a bit
of pumping first.


Essentially I'm saying that they appear to be substandard, need pumping to
work properly, and even then pulling just one doesn't seem to work well.


Any thoughts on what could be wrong?  An engineer investigated it but
couldn't find anything wrong - he checked they were bled and suchlike, he
then reported it was caused by the fact the master cylinders were not big
enough for the callipers so they need pumping.
