espace 1993 brakes ( haven't got any)

Hello there, my first post,nice to meet you all. I just changed the rear shoes and manky cylinders on my 93 espace, but then had no fluid pressure at rhe drums, so I've changed the compensator/regulator as well ( though it's not a new unit ) ,I.ve bled the brakes at each wheel, but now there's no pressure at all at the back, am I missing something?

Could be a duff or seized regulator or it's linkage is sticking or maladjusted.
Also have your tried with the weight of the car on the suspension. The farther the suspension drops the less pressure goes to the rear wheels.

Thanks, the replacement regulator looks in good shape,would be bad luck to have 2 duff units, and I tried bleeding the brakes with the car on its wheels, not a drop.

Front brakes were fine before I changed the regulator, the pads are new, and the fluid flows ok, but now they're weak . Going to try bleeding it all again in the morning.
