Is it a possibility that you have a duff new master cylinder, I had a very similar problem on my little triumph spitfire, the symptoms where exacatlly the same as you describe but the master cylinder on a spitfire is about the size of a walnut. The pedal neaded pumping half the time or it didn't break at all. Somone once told me 'just because it's a new component don't rule it our as the cause of the problem' Wise words.
