Some master cylinders have adjustable length push rods, some do not. Most of
the Healey mstr cyls. are more or less interchangeable or have been. Without
free play the fluid return port is blocked and the brakes will pretty
quickly lock up until the pressure is released. Often the difference in a
PITA problem or not is the thickness of the firewall shims..
Worn clevis pins and/or ovalized pedal assemblies may be sufficient free
play to never have the problem show up.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Found Part's Importance
Dave/Alan,
Thanks for your replies. Dave, I appreciate there would be less end-play
without the spacers, however, why would I not notice some negative affect
during my 20 years of driving? To be clear, what would the added (or its
lack of) end play do?
Since John's 64BJ8 did not come with the spacers and, assuming John's P1
came with the same master/servo, could my P1 #26618 Healey be the recipient
of an early P2 (started at #26705) part allocation?
Thanks and all the best,
Ray (64BJ8P1)
