Brake Pedal Adjustment 900 1994

I just completed a full overhaul of the braking system on my 945T including calipers, rotors, master cylinder and booster along with pads and a full pressure bleeding.

Brakes now working excellent but pedal goes too far down.

Where is the push rod adjustment that I should have made upon installation? The rod lengths were the same upon removal, so I saw no need to adjust. Alas, the pedal travels too far to the floor.

There is no air in the system, so I'm sure it's the rod adjustment. Is it on the master cylinder side or the brake side inside the car?

Thanks everyone!

    "...The rod lengths were the same upon removal, so I saw no need to adjust..."

    I assume you are talking about the rod coming out of the front of the booster that pushes on the MC piston.

    There could have "possibly" been a difference in the depth of the contact point at the rear end of the MC piston (deeper pocket) which would have had to be compensated for by lengthening the booster rod.

    Just a wild guess here....

      Thanks Chris. Is the adjustment on the firewall side of the booster or the master cylinder side?

        The only ones I've dealt with had an adjustable shaft on the front side of the booster (the shaft that pokes into the MC. I wanta say there was a little lock nut on the shaft that you had to loosen first and then you could screw the shaft in or out. But it's been a while.....
