Hey all

ive got about 1-1.5" of play at the pedal from the linkage that goes from the pedalbox to the booster, anyone got tips on how to recondition the setup? would it just be the pins that need replacing or would the linkage itself be worn too?

og MC + booster, braided lines all round, hawk pads front something else on the rear, ates all round with new guides ( ineed to bleed brakes again tho.) .

Theres a soft pedal once its going (e30 ownership ftl..) but i can push the pedal down about 1" before the linakges connect up and start pushing on the linkage that pushes on the booster. its a 400k kms car so yeah...

But nah. my 1" of play exists before the booster and MC.
