Re: [T3] A Saturday, a lift and a T3

The brake push-rod basic length should be 149.5 +/- 0.5 mm from far
end to centre of eye.  The free movement on the pedal should be
about 6mm at the pedal (1 mm at the push-rod), and the adjustment is
by means of the pedal stop plate on the floorpan.

If the adjustment is made at the push-rod, there is a danger of the
total pedal movement not being enough to operate the second chamber
properly in the event of one circuit failing (so the factory manual
says!).  The Bentley manual describes the same procedure, and adds
that pedal to bulkhead (cross) panel must measure at least 225 mm.
