<VV> Dual cylinder low pedal

[Macdonald David]

I just did a '65 conversion using the Clark's kit and
could not get the brakes to bleed properly until I
adjusted the pedal to include freeplay. I followed the
factory manual and the instructions provided by
Clark's and I was able to get the correct free play
without resorting to the grinder.
