Bled new Wilwood brakes but still spongy pedal
bfit:
Mate I would start are the beginning again.
I know you will say it’s all be done, but it’s not working and they are a simple hydraulic system , and air is the most likely cause of a soft pedal
Try taking the bleed nipples out and grease the threads to restrict air passing through the threads when bleeding with a vacuum blender
I forgot to ask did you block the outlet ports at the master cyl, to prove the cyl is not bypassing inturnally
wabco40:
Normally brake fluid goes into the pressure bottle to keep the master cylinder full, however I find this to messy. I just keep the master cylinder topped up.

I'm going to get that Motive pressure bleeder. I can make one, but for the sake of $100, I'll buy it.
Bfit, didn't block the master outlet ports.
bfit:
There is a company in WA selling the Motive , I may still have the info I’ll look
wabco40:
Just make sure you get the correct plate for your master cylinder.
