Default Soft Brakes

Had similar problem on my CGT; with booster and silicon brake fluid.

Leak issues were resolved but I was still not happy with pedal travel, almost hitting the floor. Certainly not safe or comfortable driving it.

So redid all 4 brake shoe adjustments, jacked up each wheel seperately and adjusted as tight as you can go and just enough back to free spin the wheel.
It is easy to get disoriented doing this job, as you are looking at a mirror image from the backing plate side.

The pedal is now hard came right up and is consistanly firm at a mid travel position.
