Bleeding our 1950 S1 80" brakes was not a problem, however the
brakes were weak and nearly to the floor before engaging.  After
parking the LR on our hill facing up for a few days, the brakes were
100%.  As oft circulated legends, trapped air in the master cylinder
was released by raising or jacking up the front end.
