MC stroke length question

[yody]

yes good point. Wow I'm really starting a following! another "jesus cody" fan!
BTW the pedal would have to be seriously low to not get the full travel, on all the adjustable brake pedal setups I have always had, the most comfortable brake pedal height has always provided adequate pedal stroke.

Maybe this can help


You have to keep several things in mind when setting up a new pedal assembly. Make sure that the pedal height is comforatable for possible long use periods (traffic jams) also be sure your radius swing is not going to take your foot to close to the floor board. You should have full travel without the possibility of ever touching the floor. The pushrod stroke depends upon the master cylinder and is directly related to the pedal ratio. If you are using a wilwood high volume aluminum master and the stroke is 1.1" you should plan on your pedal actually being able to move 6.6". When you fill the system and have 0 air in the system your pedal on a slow stop should move between 1-3" on a panic stop you could potentially move the pedal 5".
