Failed MC

Ironically, I just replaced the MC on my '71 914 with a uroparts unit, and after 20 minutes of driving, the pedal went to the floor. it would come right back to firm pedal, then fail again. This made for some sketchy driving in traffic back home. On the rack, all four corners were re-bled with a fresh liter of super blue, no improvement. Turns out, the brand new MC was bypassing the brake circuit and simply raising the level in the reservoir. I ordered a new ATE 19mm unit from our host and installed it with no issues(other than having to relinquish the Super Blue for Gold). Check the reservoir level as your pedal is failing to engage.
