Describe the type of master cylinder you have as well as the type wheel cyl
inders. There have been a few master cylinders of inferior quality experien
ced by several builders.

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 b
it 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 could
n't find anything wrong - he checked they were bled and suchlike, he then r
eported it was caused by the fact the master cylinders were not big enough 
for the callipers so they need pumping.
