Ron, The rod between the MC and booster is factory, as it was a new / rebuilt combo unit. I did have to make up a new rod from the pedal to the booster however. I left a little extra slop in the rod adjustment to make sure the MC pistons stroke back all the way, then I was going to adjust it to specs after I had bled the MC and had a "pedal". The bleeding instructions say to only stroke 3/4 to 1", and I'm pretty sure I'm moving the rod on the booster that much when pumping.
If all else fails, I could adjust the brake pedal rod tighter, and try some more.
Thanks, Tom
