Thanks for the pointers JT. I'm 99.9% sure the new booster and master will fix the problem (heck, I'm 90% sure it's the booster). My experience with brake systems up until now have been sans booster. Heck, most of the brakes I've ever worked on had separate masters for the front and back brakes.

One of these days I'm going to get myself a high pressure gauge so that I can just connect the gauge to the brake lines and see what sort of pressure can be developed.
