Long pedal

[grannyknot]

My 240z has has original M/C, calipers and drums, everything is new. Modifications include 280z brake booster, SS braided hoses

and Poterfield pads. The braking is excellent, the only problem, if there is one at all, is the brakes don't engage until the pedal is a 1/3 to 1/2 of the way down on the pedal.

Is there anything I can do to have the brakes engage nearer the top of the pedal?

Thanks,

Chris

Did you try extending the push rod that protrudes out of the booster?

Check the reaction disk while you're in there, especially considering the brake booster was replaced.

Adjust the rod as stated above. Some rods have a longer "nose" on it- the part that adjusts out.

My Wildwoods were the same way when first installed.

Adjusting the booster pushrod did the trick, a bit too well! I adjusted it out about 1/4", the pedal felt great and so I took it out for a drive and didn't realize the brakes were partially engaged already, Pads and rotors heated up quickly and just managed to pull over before the car stopped itself, luckily I had my tools with me.

1/8th" on the push rod was all I needed and all is working well now.

Thanks guys,

Chris
