There is nothing in the Bently manual about adjusting the pedal. My pedal has
about 1/2" of movement before it engages. The pedal is solid when I press it so
I believe the system has been bled correctly.
The feed back I receive when engaging the brakes when the car is in motion is
that the servo is not assisting. I don't understand, as the servo was just
rebuilt and it worked fine until I switched out the master cylinder.
