All of the books that I have looked in, have shown the .5mm tolerance for the dual circuit systems and 5mm for the single circuit. That is from the end of the ball on the rod, to the center of the hole that connect to the pedal. That hole is 11mm diameter. So, measure from the end of the rod, to the edge of the hole, with the calipers, and then add 5.5mm. > > The same pedal stroke requirement would be in play, however, since brakes are > the same (I think.)

I don't have a digital camera right now, so I couldnt take a picture, of the parts car or the Ghia.
