I was trying to fit the new pedal board I have and it won't fit as it keeps binding on the brake pedal. When I played with the pedal I can move it off of the rest towards the master cylinder about 3/4" using one finger. I believe the free play should be closer to 1mm?
Anyhow it seems to me that I should be adjusting the rubber stop forwards to reduce the play - and this would move the rest position of the pedal forwards and reduce the free play and hence also the pedal board to fit in. Is that correct? or am I missing something? OK... How do I do that adjustment? I can't see any way of moving the rubber stop towards the front of the car as it is attached to the bearing tube. Essentially I am trying to stop the spring pushing the pedal up too far, but I can't see how to make that adjustment. I think I have read that the pedal height is adjustable? Hope this is clear, Thanks, Richard |

The brakes worked very well when I last drove it. Is it not equally possible that the MC is fine and the pedal is just continuing to rotate towards the driver even though the cylinder is in the fully 'relaxed' position. You could adjust the pushrod to reduce the free play, but the pedal would still be sitting too high when released - which seems to be my problem because I can't get the pedal board located as the brake pedal is too high and doesn't allow the pedal board to lay flat between the two screw holes.
Thats what started me off. I have searched and found several remarks saying you can adjust pedal height, but I can't figure out how. R |
