I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem. I installed the master cylinder Baer sent me with my caliper setup, and when I adjust the brake pushrod to where I get a decent feeling pedal, the brakes drag significantly. If I back the pushrod off to where there is a little freeplay with the pedal all the way up, I can push the pedal all the way down and not come close to locking up the brakes.

I was talking to Andrew B yesterday and he suggested I might need a smaller bore MC. Anybody have any experience with this???

are you using power or manual brakes . you have the wrong pedal ratio.

Manual brakes. I adjusted the pushrod today and drove it some. The brakes stop the car, but you really have to push the pedal hard.

with manual brakes . depending on bore size ,should have around a 5.5 pedal ratio. check yours to see what it is.
