<div>I recently changed my master cylinder from a 7/8" to a 3/4" bore. I had a similar problem but I was able to raise the pedal by adjusting length of the pushrod from the pedal to the MC. Be careful not to go too far or the MC will not have enough return travel to release the brake fluid back to the reservoir and your brakes will lock up.

<div dir="ltr">I have a Bugeye that I have replaced all the front and rear rubber including the master cylinder. New calipers on front and new rear drums, springs, cylinders,etc.,etc. New rubber in clutch slave. After bleeding using the two-man method I still am not satisfied with the pedal feel. It still depresses about half way down although the stopping power is pretty good. Is it possible<div>to get a really hard brake pedal in this car? Is there any sure-fire way to bleed all the air out of the lines?<br><br><div>> From: healeys-request@autox.team.net<br>> Subject: Healeys Digest, Vol 8, Issue 355<br>> To: healeys@autox.team.net<br>> Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2015 10:48:51 -0700<br>> <br>> Send Healeys mailing list submissions to<br>> healeys@autox.team.net<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> healeys-request@autox.team.net<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> healeys-owner@autox.team.net<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of Healeys digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.
