The car originally had drum/drum.

I overhauled the mast previousyr, and removed the residual valve before running the disc front. I noticed I have alloy Girlock callipers... are these std stanza. or have i mismatched my braking components.

Today I was looking in a disc/drum master and noticed it has 2 rubber/spring residual valves.

so I put one in the front circuit of the master to preload a little, bled the brakes and am yet to take it for a test drive.

it does preload the front brakes a little, but not enough to drag I think. pedal still feels like it has a lot of travel.. despite bleeding.. Does this sound right or should I have a good solid pedal.

Now the alternator seems to be playing up and I decided to change the ball joints, rod ends and drag link.. just because Im a fussy bastard and I want the car to be safe.

Wards, yes you are right, pedal effort versus stopping power.. I hope it passes next round.

Orange 1200 - yes I also adjusted my rear drums
