I installed a smaller dual diaphragm brake booster for clearance reasons. The pedal is a little low after bleeding the brakes.

Is there a method that can be used to adjust the push rod length on the car or does the master cylinder need to be removed and a push rod gauge used?

I understand that this measurment is critical.

Thanks,
John

Hi Blonzz, all
Lengthen the rod until the freeplay is all but gone.
I'll be watching your thread on ROP. Might be interesting.
Regards, Norm
