I appreciate all your input into this problem but I want it to be clear that I have talked to 2 Shelby dealers, the one who built the car and Gary at SAI. I realize how hard it is to try and fix a car over the phone so I appreciate all of their suggestions and everyone elses too. This is the first Shelby that I have ever worked on or even driven so all input is greatly appreciated. Jim Maxwell has gone out of his way to try to help and I can't thank him enough.

Yes, I have checked for kinks in the lines, many times and even asked other people to look to see if I have missed something. Fluid flow out the bleeders is not a problem. With the car being as new as it is and with the good fluid flow that I have, I can't see the flex lines being a problem. I do know that with the master cylinders being so low that it can be very difficult to bleed the air out of the system so I have bleed the system several different ways using lots of fresh fluid to be sure that all the air is out.

The master cylinders are mounted one over the other with a non-adjustable balance bar. Both cylinders push in at the same time. I am presently working on a couple of other things and hope to resolve this soon. I have a lot of other work waiting.
