Hard Brake Pedal

[d.c.]

Hi Wicked, No I cannot move the pushrod higher, and although I did give myself some extra leverage by clamping some angle iron to the pedal and pushing there, it did not seem to help. I do not know the bore size of the master cylinder which I suspect may be the issue but am hoping not. It is painted to match the frame and engine and we have a track day coming up in a week. Outside of the M/C bore size which I agree may be the culprit what else could cause this? I am using wilwoods six piston "big brake" calipers up front and the 4 pistion rears provided by AME.

If you have mounted the mc at an angle on the firewall where the piston would be pushing at a slight angle to it would cause it to be hard to push as well and likely eventually wear out the bushing and cause it to leak.

if you have a 2 or a 1 7/8 its probably not bore size as the issue.
