Remember that the pedal is not connected directly to the master. I would just install the master and then if there is a problem, deal with it. If it was OK before, the new master will be close enough. Better to have a little extra play then to have a problem with the piston in the master returning all the way home. Dennis

About an inch of pedal travel before the pushrod I see in the vacuum booster starts to move. It doesn't look like it would be possible to measure or adjust this per Bentley with the booster and bracket in the van. : ( Edward
