Some of you may be interested is seeing the master cylinder rod measuring tool that I made to determine the correct length. I modified Ken Henderson's model by using an old telescoping radio antenna to determine the correct internal length. The rod I replaced was 1/4 inch too short, causing unnecessary brake pedal travel. See picture.
