Hello Lester,

       since no one else has answered... i'll jump in with my
       (uninformed) opinion and thoughts.....

       the external adjusting screws can be used to set the distance
       the pedals are from your body.... i.e. seperately from your
       relationship to the steering wheel, as with just adjusting the
       seat..... make yourself comfortable if you have particularly
       long legs, and short arms, or whatever......

       the rod length can be used to THEN adjust for pedal "feel"..
       i.e. the distance the pedal moves before anything happens. the
       shorter the rod, the "tighter" your brakes feel, all other
       things being equal. . the bentley manual cautions that the
       pedal should move 5/16" before anything happens, (the rod
       moving 5 /32"  if i recall, without looking it up) otherwise
       there could ALWAYS be pressure on the system?!
