[FC] FC Brake Pedal Travel

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

  Trying to get the brakes perfect on my friends 
beautiful '62 Greenbrier.

We have put in new everything. Shoes, springs, master cylinder, drums. We 
have also added new automatic adjusters.

So the pedal travel is still pretty far. It brakes nicely otherwise. So I 
reached under, and can move the pedal a long way ( 2 inches? ) by hand 
before it engages the cylinder.

I am wondering, how can this slack me taken out? It appears the push rod 
is to short as is. Like in a car it can be adjusted, but on this I do not 
see an adjustment. I am wondering if it has to do with the hole in the 
piston for the MC, and how deep it goes vs stock. Ran into this at one 
point with my Buick.

How can we raise the pedal?

Any hints greatly appreciated.
