Re: Brake drag and booster/MC rod adjustment

.

Second iteration:

Removed bump stop, turned clevis toward dash to where the brake pedal now rests inside the space the bump stop occupied previously so the rod has been lengthened an additional 1/2 over its previous length. The brake switch appears to have plenty of adjustment.

Adjusted rear shoes. One side was way off the other was just slightly misadjusted. Bled all 4 corners from furthest to closest to MC.

The pedal feels good and the brakes respond but I can't get full braking power before the pedal stops its motion toward the floor. It's better than it was this morning but still not safe for the road.

Looks like MC and PV replacement next.
