<div style="color:black;font:12pt Comic Sans MS, sans-serif;">One more related question. The attached illustrates exactly how our pedal assembly & master cylinder are installed. In order to get the specified 1/8" free play at the pedal pad, the lever with the arrow pointing at it is against the foot board. Is that normal/correct? </div>

Do this repeatedly & you will find the pedal comes up. Don’t ask me why, but I’ve done this several times with my own and other people’s cars, and it works!<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Cheers</span></div>

<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">We are having a very difficult time adjusting & bleeding the brakes on a friend's BN1. </span></div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">The car has recently under a full ground up restoration so things like brake lines including flex lines are new, seals in the brake cylinders are new, the master cyl. is new, etc.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">We bleed the system so many times different way that I have lost track. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">We have adjusted the free play to assure that the plunger is able to return to the full "off" position.</span></div>
</div>

<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">When we adjust the operating rod to achieve the specified 1/8" free movement at the pedal.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">We have adjusted the brake shoes to have a very slight drag at rest.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">Our issue is:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">Excessive brake pedal travel before the brakes begin to be effective. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">Pumping the brakes temporarily improve the pedal travel issue, which we think indicates air still in the system.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="yiv6883006609MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Sans;color:black;">We are not having any leaks & the reservoir port is functioning correctly, IE: no locking up of the brakes. </span></div>
