Okay. I don't see an actual measurement given, it's just referred to as dimension 'A' in my edition, and says don't change it. It does say to adjust the brake pedal freeplay by moving the pedal stop bracket so that freeplay is 5 to 7mm, which will translate to 1mm inside the cylinder, of course that assumes the push rod length hasn't been altered by me beforehand. It goes on to say that the distance from the back of the pedal to the cross panel must not be less then 225mm & to measure the distance from the back of the pedal to the cross panel. So if the distance is found to be 225mm or better, there will be enough pedal to stop the car should half of the brakes fail, unfortunately this measurement probably also assumes the push rod length hasn't been changed. therein lies the rub. more investigation and reading maybe the answer will come. -chris ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
