[T3] brake questions continued


Last time I posted I started out a long discussion about pushrod length. I 
believe when we left the discussion there was some debate as to wether it was 
143.5 or 153mm. I went with the bentley (143.5) because you cant set the pushrod 
at 153. It's not long enough. (I measure from the tip to the center of the 
circle that hooks onto the pedal cluster.

I changed one of the cylinders in the front that had some fluid past the cup. 
This has given me a solid half pedal. Meaning that when I press the pedal it 
becomes solid half way down. I have adjusted the brakes and have gravity bled 
them. I am hoping that after a test drive and a re-adjustment that I should have 
better pedal. Does anyone out there have any further ideas about what could help 
the pedal feel? I have moved the pedal adjuster stop all the way back (toward 
the rear of the car). Any feed back would be great. Thanks.
