Unfortunately he was dumb enough to ask me! His problem stared with worn out pads: they have been replaced. However, during the time that he had little or no brakes the pedal, linkage, and other associated parts took a lot of abuse from people pushing harder and harder on the pedal. What he and his mechanic need now is for someone familiar with the pedal, linkage, and master cylinder installation to look at these photos and offer thoughts as to why the linkage between the pedal and master cylinder bends. Is the cylinder mounted incorrectly? Thanks Tommy
