Brake Pedal Height

[syndicate1]

Need some insight from all the gurus here..... I recently added a brake booster to my disc brake setup. After installing the brake booster kit, I realized that threw away the old stuff (push rod, etc...) and forgot to set the correct pedal height using the old push rod. Now the pedal is so high that I can’t brake without lifting my foot off of the floor to get on top of the pedal, Ughh!! I miss the brake pedal being aligned with the gas pedal. Does anyone know the correct pedal height measurement from the floor to the bottom of the pedal?

You adjusted the pushrod from the booster to the piston in the master cylinder?

i found that 6.5 inches (face of pedal to floor) will allow the master cylinder to bottom out just before the pedal reached the floor.

Nope! That’s the problem... I forgot to adjust the pushrod.

So you separated the master cylinder from the booster and adjusted the plunger so it's a hair from touching the master at rest. If you are talking about the pushrod that goes from the brake pedal to the "hinge" in the booster bracket.
No way to adjust that unless you have one of these:

Thanks! I have the WH brake booster and bracket that comes with an adjustable pushrod.
