Brake Pedal Travel

(1/4) > >>

blu65:
Hope some one can offer a solution to my problem,my brake set up is as follows, xa/xb discs hq holden calipers xa/xb booster & master cyl, mustang V8 rear drum brakes,the pedals are xy hung off a standard mustang pedal box. although the car stops ok i can't stand the pedal travel ant ideas on how to firm it up ?? by the way it's a manual ;w

non member:
Clamp off the rear flexible line & see if the pedal comes up further or is harder. If not then clamp off the fronts, leaving the rears unclamped & try again. That identifies which end is incorrect for the master.

Do that & report back here & we can go on.

Many good brake people post on this forum, so you will get an answer.

moe:
Was the booster new?
Any air in the system?

But I agree with Ozbilt, work out which end is the issue.

blu65:
I have clamped off the fronts and the pedal instantly improves ie firms up,remove the clamping and the pedal returns to its normal self soft & too much travel,;2, the master cyl is new(not reco)and the booster is S/H

moe:
Are your brake lines running through the distribution block?
