My Buskirk Stretch has 80 mm calipers on all four rear wheels, one ton calipers on the front wheels that replaced the former 80 mm calipers and a 34 mm master cylinder. Brakes have been bled multiple times and multiple ways. Clearance on the rod between the booster and the master cylinder has been checked, master cylinder has been changed and I still have excessive brake pedal travel. The excessive pedal travel seems to have started with the one ton installation, though we cannot see any reason, no retraction of the caliper pistons with brake release or other obvious reason. One ton caliper pistons appear to be approximately the same size as the 80 mm pistons. Has anyone else experienced this with the one ton installation? Any other ideas?
