If your brakes have been adjusted and the pedal still goes down to far it might
be wear at all the linkage points. The brake pedal,
and the pins at all the link points become "sloppy".
The fix is to replace both the pins, distance tubes, bushings, and weld up and
re-drill the hole in the top end of the pedal.
Good luck.
