Brake pedal.

Post by Tinasminor »

So today we finished fitting the new discbrake kit and m/cyl.
Bled the system and we have a nice firm pedal,
One problem is the brake pedal, we have adjusted it both ways but cannot get it to line up anywhere near level with the clutch pedal.
Are there different length rods?
As a last resort I refitted the plate over the m/cyl and the pedal lines up perfectly! Is this correct or should it adjust up without the cover plate.
Cheers Steve.

The brake and clutch pedal will only line up when the gearbox cover is installed.
What I do is fit a temporary a bar over the chassis leg opening, allow the brake and clutch pedal to rest against it and adjust the brake/clutch pedal accordingly. There are no different lengths of brake operating rod.
