weak brakes

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Rick and I (well, I should just say Rick...) replaced the master cylinder on my mk1 and bled out the lines but the pedal has gone from very firm back to the mushiness it was before. Basically, half the pedal doesn't do anything and the brakes stop the car, but it's not impressive by any means. There's no squealing sound so I assume the pads aren't worn. The brake fluid is brand new. Is it just mean and not being used to the not-so-awesome stopping power of the mk1 brakes compared to, say, a 16v? I think a conversion may be in order...
