Flipping lwb brakes wont work.
Tested everything.
Deleted bias valve
Swapped hoses over tried old rubber hose too
Swapped calipers over both okay
Bled with calipers up top
Fitted another master and servo ( cheers jordi)
Clamped off rear feed flexi hose from wing to chassis front brakes working fine good solid pedal
Blanked off one side of axle t piece . Drivers rear good solid pedal
Blank other side of t piece and Try with Rear passenger and it just lets pedal to the floor
So im left with the t peice or copper pipe being at fault which makes no sense.
will try again tomorrow. Im heading home

Sounds like a long frustrating day.
Good idea to go home. Hopefully you will see the obvious mistake straight away next time you look at it, and think what a ****.
Good luck.

You sure the servo is working? Duff connection, vacuum leak or something? Sounds like a dead servo to me at least.

Converted to discs.

My rear disc conversion went in the skip and I went back to drums.
