We have changed the brakes on a 1.2 Nova to the 2.0 setup.
This is a conversion we have done a few times before and are having some trouble getting them to work now. We have gone rounds counntless times and bled the brakes. Changed the master cylinder,changed slave cylinders, changed brake lines, taken the drums apart and looked at them. The problem with the brakes are that the pedal travels right to the floor which makes very little braking effort, we have bled the brakes like usual and there is still air in the brake nearest to the brake cylinder.
Getting really annoyed with it now, and there isn't much more to replace. Please help!!
Thanks

have you just been bleeding it with some1 pumping the pedal? if you have make sure they havent been pumping the pedal right to the floor because tht flips the seals in the master cylinder.if you have been doing it right and there still not good you could try a pressure bleeder.maybe you've tried this but hey just thot id give u a reply
