Having problems adjusting the brake peddle!

[daveejhitchins]

New brake parts all round except the peddle. However, I don't seem to be able achieve the 1 1/4" play at the peddle mentioned in the Haynes manual? I'm just running out of thread and best is 1 1/2" of play . . .

Any ideas?

I presume that you are trying to adjust the actuating rod on the master cylinder.

The recommended 1 1/4 play is with the floor in place. When the floor/transmission tunnel is removed the pedal is free to rise above it's regular position. Try placing a straight edge over the pedal at floor level and adjust from there.

Good luck

Thanks for that tip, Jim . . . I'd have probably got there, eventually
