There is a serrated rubber opening on the brake booster, that the rod comes out of, but not on the adapter plate itself. The adapter plate is just metal. Seems to me just acting as a spacer to make the Ford MC work. When the MC and plate are pulled away from the booster, the rod does not stay straight, it does angle a little bit down until the plate and MC are put back on.

as an aside, any chance that there maybe a vacuum leak on the booster, any sucking noise from any of the vacuum hoses???

Not that I can tell anyway. The last mechanic to look at it said it was fine. Remember, this whole problem is directly heat related. Winter comes along and the problem goes away.
