Thread: Master cylinder hold off spring.

Tweet

I've seen it done that way, Dave, but what I have done a couple of times is use one of those studs that have the rubber tops on them, like Mustangs have as underhood bumpers. With a nut on either side of a fabricated bracket you can adjust the rubber part up against the pedal, near the part that goes to the MC to keep it held firmly and not rattle. Some factory cars have a rubber bumper like that where the pedal also hits against it, doing the same thing.

Just another way of doing it.

Thanks Don. You reminded me - that is similar to what I did with my long gone T bucket - memories do fade.

What I also, after doing my thinking and after posting this, is to kill that rattle AND make sure the MC push rod is fully retracted so I don't have any brake drag

Dave,
I'm assuming this is a stout spring and the collar is on the actuating rod coming out of the MC? My first thought was how did you hear the rattle? I may need to look at mine for the pedal drag, but there's no way I'd hear the pedal rattling with my exhaust note!

Roger - that's what I'm considering. A stout spring and a collar. The spring is $8.40 and the collar is $.67 from McMaster-Carr. I need a couple of other items from them as well, so will give it a try.

Now, hearing it - when I depress the brake pedal, it clatters, also on deceleration. While driving along at 60mph or so,

I'm more concerned with brake drag though as those Wilwood rotors and pads are not cheap to replace

Can you post a link to the spring you're looking at? You have an under floor mount, right? What's your fixed pull point?
