Nibble nibble. . . . Do TR6's have drum brakes on the rear? Did you check them. Disk brakes normally run at nearly 0 clearance. Most of the pedal travel is actually coming from the rear drum brakes.

Thanks to all who replied! Our next step is to rebuild the master cylinder. Mitch says all the lines in the TR6 are metal lines, no rubber hoses to (easily) replace. Rats. We'll check for corrosion a

Hold that on the brake master cylinder rebuild... Hmmm. We called the Roadster Factory and they said it's almost certain it's the calipers! We're gonna have someone check them for roundness then see
