<VV> Brake gremlin

[Frank DuVal]

If pulling up on the brake pedal helps, I agree that the master cylinder 
push rod needs to be shortened slighly.

Also I do not see brake hardware listed as an item replaced. New springs 
help to retract the shoes to their resting position. The springs also 
push back (through the fluid) the brake pedal.
