How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

make sure the vac pipe next to the throttle is the right way round if youve removed it. if its not your braking will be terrible and the pedal will harder than the expendables - thats if youve actually connected it up?

When I put mine on, I had some1 push the pedal so I could locate the pin into the master easier, then slowly release the pedal as I slid it onto the studs

Are you sure you have got the servo rod located in the master cylinder and not lodged to the side?s9jja wrote:all the vacuum pipes are right seen a few pics too but still cant tell wat it is, the pedal is hard not started or started???????
Easy done when fitting on your own as it helps if someone presses the pedal down as mentioned above.
