Brake pedal stop
Hey guys I converted from a power brake set up to a manual with a willwood master cylinder mounted directly to the firewall. Right now the only thing acting as a stop for the brake pedal is the brake switch. If the threads were to strip out on the plastic of that I see the potential for the pushrod to fall out of the master cylinder and end up with no brakes. Has anyone ran into this? I'm thinking I can drill a hole on the tab next to the brake switch and use a bolt and nut for a secondary stop.

Re: Brake pedal stop
I just put my wilwood master in last weekend. I just replaced the factory manual master with the new one (no power brakes). I played around to get the pushrod length correct but didn't feel like I had to change anything.
Are you trying it dry or did you fill it and bleed the lines? With the system operating correctly I would think the hydraulic pressure would keep the pedal from going to the floor (or a stop). If it goes to the floor (or a stop), you have a problem!

Re: Brake pedal stop
Well... I know how this goes back on and it's purpose. Hahaha it's been a while since I took this truck apart. Thanks for the help, just need to find some new rubber stops. Thanks again.
