Reply to "Excessive Brake Pedal Travel"

I replaced mine a couple of months ago with what is probably the same master cylinder from PI, stock looking although larger overall and a larger bore. I had to fabricate a locknut for the rod because the threads were too loose unlike the stock setup but that was easy. I purposely set the rod length long and assembled the system but did not tighten it down so I could feel where the rod bottomed out. I used a feeler gauge between the MS and brake booster to determine the rod length overage. From there I removed the MS and using a caliper and the Factory manual recommendation for free play I set the lenght. It worked the first time! What a made a big difference though was the new Porterfield brake pads. I ordered the R4-S fronts and the grippier R4-1 for the rears. The car stops now!
