Brake pedal/ mc problem....

Hey guys,

So I decide to mock up my new brake pedal/ master cylinder that i picked up from speed way a couple weeks ago while i was in town.

while i was nowhere near surprised when it came with absolutely no instructions on how it went together, it seems that it should just bolt together like youd think it should.

I was sadly surprised to see that some of the parts seem to not be threaded correctly to actually put it together.

So I figured that i would i post some photos and hopefully be informed that im just looking at something wrong and dont need to rethread a brand new part to fit the other brand new parts that came with it.



so here we go, we have the link attached to the pedal and the mc push rod.



I line/mock it all up and everything seems it should bolt up and line up correctly.



Now the problem, the tube that links the heim joint to the m/c pushrod isnt threaded correctly.

not only is it threaded a few sizes to small but its not even threaded deep enough to thread the whole pushrod in so i can later adjust it.

So unless I'm missing something i need to rethread the link to the correct size and deeper?

 

Sorry Tim, thats Speedway. We have all been there.

 

blah, thats what i figured. I guess at least i know that the tube will support the bigger hole/thread because oddly enough thats whats on the other end of the tube!

the mc rod and the heim joint are the same size/thread lol. awesome

 

so went back and looked at it again and turns out they are threaded correctly, but the first few threads were either pinched shut or had 'slag' from the tap blocking them. some "manual persuasion" man it all work out alright. just wanted to follow up on this

 

"Double-locking"...

 

I have learned that any thing from speedway the threads must be dressed before ***embly.

 

lesson learned, the next build will be taking a lot more time and a lot less speedway
