I've been using the Search function till my eyes cross but cannot find an answer to my dilemma.
During my rebuild project I upgraded to a dual-circuit master cylinder. The pedal arms got new bushings, new return springs, etc. Everything works fine, and I've even managed to test drive the bare chassis a couple times (the cab is still not on the chassis, but I'm getting close to putting it back on). So here's the question: is there supposed to be some kind of a clip, etc., that prevents the master cylinder piston rod from being pulled away from the piston? The brake pedal spring pulls the arm all the way till the pedal hits the hypothetical cab floor. There's nothing to prevent it from pulling the piston rod almost out of the rubber boot. Because of this situation, adjusting the length of the piston rod is meaningless at this point. Something needs to keep the piston rod up tight to the piston to eliminate all of that unwanted travel. Thoughts anyone?
