So now that I've driven the car around a bit, I've got a somewhat spongy brake pedal
I was damn positive after all that fluid flushed (and with a DSC bleed) there were no more bubbles, but I suppose there could be some still hiding. In googling this sounds like this is not entirely uncommon after a rebuild. People talk of things like piston hysteresis; or something else related to fact that grease (instead of brake fluid) was used to lube the seals; all things I'm not sure I fully understand.
Going to drive it through this weekend and see if I get lucky with it firming up on its own, otherwise back to the bleeding with some more fluid. At that point may do a more conventional 2-person pedal bleed. I'll graciously take any other words of wisdom people may have...
I do have the titanium shims as well
