Q & A: Master cylinder freeplay
Saturday March 30th, 2002
Hi John:
This seems like a never-ending story! I wrote a nice, polite letter to the mechanic citing your and Mike Ash's theories. He has agreed to take another look at the car to see if he can take out some extra free play in the linkages. But that scares me a bit as I know that if you take out enough free play you can eliminate the problem.
Up to a point, what is the danger of taking out freeplay at the master cylinder operating rod? I will also suggest rebuilding the master cylinder and see what he thinks about that. Thanks again for your interest.

Frank! You can take all of the freeplay out, with the exception of the last little "tunk," which translates to about 1/2" at the pedal. Hope your guy can get it right!

Tip of the Day
It makes no difference how quickly your MG will accelerate if it cannot
stop! The proper functioning of your brakes must ALWAYS be at the
top of your list of priorities. You owe this degree of safety to yourself,
your passenger, and all others on the road.
John H. Twist (Fall, 1980)
