If getting eliminating pedal play before bite is what you are trying to achieve Graham you can adjust the length of the pedal actuating rod. Just make sure adjustment is done in reasonably small increments as you can interfere with the piston travel return which won`t alloy the master cylinder to draw in sufficient fluid from its ports. My experience has been that if set up right there isn`t really a great deal of pedal movement in this RHD setup and if there is I would be meticulously examining why. Just make sure the pad to disc clearance is right before you do anything else-go out and use the brakes really hard PLUS use them really hard a few times in reverse so that brake bias is changed to the rears-recommend to do at least once a week if the car is used regularly. How old are the hoses? Is the MC ok? once you have good pad to disc clearance you can then progress to these other possibles. Alfa brakes for a std car are pretty well specced and operate ok so test the system you have first and get that right-I`ve seen too many buggered about cars just because people overlooked the obvious.
