Hi folks,
I am getting ready to replace the clutch and brake masters cylinders on my 60 BT7 as preventative maintenance. I have done this a number of times since the 1970s. The Moss catalog (and others) shows a packing piece or shim that is actually two pieces that fits between the master and the pedal box. I never recall seeing shims on the clutch pedal master, but I have always replaced the original shims on the brake master. Are there supposed to be shims on the clutch master also? What do these packing pieces (shims) do, other than move the master cylinder and therefore the pedal ever so slightly toward the front of the car?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
