Amazing read A vehicle with a fluid activated brake system. And ALL friction surfaces replaced. And a pedal that well maybe feels like untrue friction surfaces…… Warped backing pads on disc pads….Twisted brake shoes… And Insert a brake booster ;;;;;vacuum pump on a diesel and . What? O M G When one has a system to increase hydraulic pressure without increasing pedal effort then the uneven distorted surfaces show?
Sheesh

Brakes 101 How does air enter the system unless the master cylinder reservoir is empty and the pedal is used ?
Considering the master has wipe section seals and the discs have square seals and wheel cylinders have wipe seals and a line pressure valve? When one has used professional round low tension line clamps to diagnose a diagonally distorted brake shoe in a non boosted 4 wheel drum braked mini one KNOWS that the same can cause 3 full activating pumps on a master cylinder to have some minimal pedal feel. Such is the hydraulic leverage ratio between wheel cylinders and master cylinders

So re post number one Consider removing ALL new pads and placing on a decent straight edge and checking with a torch….

As to pressure bleeding as opposed to flow bleeding and the ability of air to enter when you open the nipple……. Reality is as simple as a moriss marina or hillman hunter clutch and a round slave cylnder capable of being inserted by a fool with the nipple at the LOWEST point NOT the Highest point-as they ALL are designed to be to be

now the problem of brake bleeding s. when you slip cut your finger and it squerts blood on to the brake pad. That is brake bleeding but not what i was thinking at first.

I think you may be confusing fluid displacement with what you call "leverage ratio"?

Do they have square slave cylinders too ? Don't give up ya day job will ya ;-) nothing to do with high low points ,there are leak offs along the line and where there are other parts fitted like a load sensing valve which is a high point! . It's the method you use to bleed that matters .Distance and leak off points is more important and Always the last leak off is the furthermost point from the master usually the left side rear in the right order of a bleed within a split diagonal system .Those who have been to tech have the right information and knowledge in my case 30+ years .Google is really a mumble jumble guide for dummies with conflicting information,some good information is there for parts, consumables /pads /linings etc ,but the likes of forums /tech talk no one agrees on the same thing .The system type in use or how it is serviced. correctly only comes from trained technicians . I have to say it there is more to brakes than just throwing in some pads.Should really be best left those who know better.Btw yes I get ya point about the slave.Its never been a problem to mention as far as I'm aware!

If it not james is someone else i think who left here a year ago or so and has 2 years up on me and was a very clever bugger and was going to court over something authoritarian and left or went on a wee holiday!

Was a familiar pest I remember .I dunno ,probably peed someone off ,maybe won lotto big and gone burgers.Good on him for his input I guess in general and motoring .Everyone needs a clown around to lift spirits up lol Saying this hoping you're not the reincarnation of the old and get offended and nekminit I'm in the office having to explain what happened here the man is crying ;-) lol . few newbies here nowadays and good to see wimmins input too. Aside I Hope Op got his brakes sorted ?
