Thanks Guys!!!! I'd had a soft pedal since I finished my all stainless brake system. I'd used dot 5 and became convinced that was the cause of my troubles, but really I'd neglected to adjust my rear brakes!! Reading the beginning of this post
I thought it wouldn't apply to me because I have disc brakes in front and 11 inch **** drums in the rear, but the adjustment question applies to brake designs new and Old!!
