Brake Pedal Adjust? Options

[richardL]

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 nut is in place and the geometry looks like yours. However, the whole pedal cluster is tilted back and thats why the stop looks angled back. The front of the cluster - where the MC fits is quite raised up - I can get my fingers underneath the cluster at the front quite easily. It all looks normal but maybe the whol thing is bent somehow. After I put the wooden board on, I can lay a ruler across the outside face and that stop mount still sticks out a good 1/4" above the face (and thats the outside face, so it was really pushing against the inside face!). If the cluster was mounted flat (like in your photo), it would all fit.
