Brake specialists Sydneys west FINALLY SOLVED
mattlea1:
I have had the car for about 5 years and it has always had it but it started out very minor and has progressively gotten worse over time. I thought the line may be blocked as well but both sides bleed just fine ie: minimal pedal pressure required and fluid flows freely.
sms777:
I would be looking over the suspension again very carefully.
You may have replaced all your bushes but one of your control arms may have a small crack or slight bend in it that would cause it to flex or bend under heavy braking resulting severe bumsteer condition.
Other issue could be your flexible brake line could have collapsed which you will never see from the outside, so replace them with braided ones see how you go.
If it all fails bring it to my work and i will go over it and give my advice free of charge.

Matt, I'd even go one step further than Chris and say have a look at possible cracking in the chassis.
I speak from personal experience.
The combination of RHD conversion and old age can do some funny things.
Steve:
be interesting to see what happens when you put the car in reverse and hit the brakes hard ........if it pulls the opposite way then have a really good look at the lower control arms/chassis
Steve:
any updates on the brakes ?
