<div dir="ltr">Hi Mike,<div><br></div><div>What I'm going to tell you will probably get the other Spridge folks upset because it flies in the fact of common knowledge.  I can only tell you what happened when we finished a disc brake swap on a friend's bugeye that had already been started.  Initially, we purchased a new TRW 3'4" bore MC.  The car had standard rear drum brakes.  Try as we might, we couldn't get a hard pedal, even after installing stainless lines all around.  We screwed around with pushrod adjustment, still no dice.  What we finally ended up doing was purchasing one of these 7/8" inch MCs with an increased reservoir:<a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/200920716753?fits=Model%3ASprite&hash=item2ec7ced5d1:g:fdsAAOxy02dRf~cB">https://www.ebay.com/itm/200920716753?fits=Model%3ASprite&hash=item2ec7ced5d1:g:fdsAAOxy02dRf~cB</a>  I'm not sure whether we trimmed the pushrods down a bit as well as it was one of the many things we tried.  Might be worth a shot if you get desperate.  My motto, "If it doesn't;t work, keep throwing new parts at it until it does."</div><div><br></div><div>Happy Healeying,</div><div>Rick Neville  </div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>
