Maybe I've just been a little slow on this, but I had not thought of pulling out on the knob. > Followed procedure below each > time:(Quote from Haynes manual Chapter 9 Section 8-7) > "It is important that the pushrod which operates the plunger from > the brake pedal is correctly set.

This sounds fine for the simplex MC. I'm guessing that's where these instructions originated. > "With tandem master cylinders it is important that the pedal stop > is set so that if one brake circuit fails the pedal can move far > enough to operate the other circuit before it comes up against the > panel". I agree with this, but it's important to note that they don't give you any way of checking that this is okay. I believe the 225mm (if that is the correct distance) is the check. > This does seem to indicate that the final adjustment is indeed made > with the pushrod.
