David,

    When I replaced the first master cylinder I did make that adjustment
with no improvement. I have yet to do the adjustment on the second go
around [ however, I will ].  Thanks for the info.


  Getting caught in the middle of the brake problem situation, I just
wanted to put in a tidbit.
  If the problem is no peddle, it is possible to mistake a T1 rod with a
T3 rod if not matched up first.  The T3 rod is much longer than a T1 rod.
 I have made that mistake once, by accident and it drove me crazy for a
day or two, then swopped the rods and whalla!
  I don't totally agree to not adjusting the rod.  Though a factory
adjustment, it can be done to compensate for worn pedal shaft bushings
etc.  I have done this to remaove pedal free play and works great.  It is
so nice to hit the brakes and all you get is pedal.

Mike
