1965 Mustang 289. I just finished a non-power front disc conversion using a reputable and referred supplier kit. After completion of the install and all bleeding, I now have a hard pedal when pressing, but excessive free play in the brake pedal, (not when pressing, but in the full return position) The pedal just drops a few inches. I used the recommended original master cylinder rod which appears to be to short. I ordered and will install an adjustable rod to hopefully take out the "pedal slop" play. What I need to know is the pedal supposed to fully return all the way back, or is it supposed to hang down a bit (free play), if so how much ?
I can deal with the "pedal slop", but I know that if the pedal is not positioned properly the brake light switch will not correctly work and the PITA headaches begin.
Also is there supposed to be a brake pedal return spring to pull the brake pedal arm back when your foot is removed from the pedal or is the pressure from the M/C on the rod what returns the pedal arm ?
Any input or opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
