Re: disk vs drum pedal effort

Once you have the new booster bolted to the firewall, crawl under the dash. Then hold the original pushrod in position on the pedal, and parallel to the new pushrod. Then make a mark on both pushrods in a convenient place to cut them both. An area where they are close to the same diameter would be helpful. Then remove the booster and cut both pushrods. Now connect the two pieces by either welding, sleeving and cross pinning, or threading and screwing together with a coupling nut. Just be sure the original pushrod is in the middle of it's adjustment. This way you can still adjust the pushrod after the lengthening.

I hope that makes sense.
