Well, we got it in the end and as usual the culprit was the repro product. The factory pin that came with the booster was bottoming out on the master piston. Obviously the hole in the master was not quite deep enough and was hanging it open.



I took off about 3/16 in a couple of goes, reinstalled it and we now have a hard pedal. Probably the last straw for the repro stuff for me, I have been bitten before and this is about the end of it, wherever possible. Thanks to all that offered assistance.
