Brake Pedal arm position

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello All!
I am trying to figure out if I have the brake pedal arm adjusted correctly. In the picture it look too far forward.  I am re-using the push rod and I suspect that it is too short.  
bonus question: I understand that there is pressure valve in the cap of the master cylinder, it keeps seeping fluid, will it stop? do i need to re-bleed the system?

	I think your brake pedal arm will be fine. The upper "stop" for both pedals is the toe-board of the tub. You cannot adjust either until the body is in place. No "pressure valve" in the master cylinder cap, just a vent. You may have the reservoir over-filled. BW
