For those of you who suggested that I go with a later-style master cylinder issue, may be pleased to know that I picked up a conversion ring and have installed the more conventional master cylinder from my '71 P1800.

Everything bolted up okay (a little snug on the bolt-holes), but I'm unsure about the actual pedal connection. The bolt that came with the ring kit is far too short to fully engage the brakes. Even with the adjustment fully extended I can push the pedal to the floor and still not get full resistance. Mind you I have not bled the brakes yet, but It shouldn't be going flat to the firewall and beyond.

SO... Just how long a bolt/push-rod do I need to get this setup correctly and how have other done this part of the upgrade?
