More detail maybe?

Are they spongy? No bite?

It's got air in it then, try bleed out the banjo bolts on the splitter and on the master cylinder. Check the lines carefully for bulge's too.

Also, what about a spellchecker?

Aye sounds like you have a load of air traped in the system.

Do you still have the original rubber brake hoses on it?
