[DeTomaso] Mushy brakes

[ProvaMo.com]

Mushy, usually means air in the system (air can be compressed) or a master
seal going bad.  I once found a leak in the booster line on one car.

The procedure to bleed the brakes differs slightly depending upon the
calipers.  The stock caliper has 2 bleed screws.

What do you mean by mushy?  Does the pedal slowly sink to the floor, or does
it stop at some point?

We have rebuilt all the wheel cylinders and put new pads on.  I still have
very mushy brakes.  Is there anything else to do other than the master
cylinder?

If I need to replace the master cylinder, what are your recommendations?  I
only drive on the street.
