Hey guys,

Currently in the process of "restoring" an 72 220D w115. I've gone ahead and redid the entire brake system


* replaced all rubber brakes lines
* replaced all calipers
* replaced pads and rotors
* replaced Master cylinder
* ran new steel lines for front driver an passenger (left alone the rear steel lines)

I have bled and bled and bled. Started at the master, worked my way down to the back of the car. Even got one of those mighty vac clones from HF (the $12 one) I still have soft squishy brakes. I get fluid in all tires and its new because I was previously getting some very dark fluid initially.

I vaguely remember when I had my W123, it was something with the vacuum pump, but is there any way to test that before I take that thing apart. I remember it being a PIA to get all back together.

Anything else I can check?

Should I also start a thread on my progress(?)
