Leighton, Thanks for confirming that I was looking at the correct end of the booster and it's also seems that I had the offending part worked out from your earlier description. I'm still thinking there's got to be more to it. Like why does the grommet fall out with a 7/8" cylinder and not others. Like Malcolm said, i've got to have a closer look at this problem in daylight. May be there's something that holds the rod in place better in the other cylinders. I've got a 7/8" and a 3/4" lying about so I'll have a look tomorrow.
regards Terry. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Leighton Sent: Sunday, 24 February 2002 6:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Man..... I am astounded!!!!!!!1 ok looking in from the front of the car if you pull the master cylinder off and pull out that metal pin that is recessed by a rubber seal into the booster ( the little rod that pushes into the master cylinder) pull that out and have a look in or stick your finger straight in - what you should feel is a rubber backingat the rear of the booster - this is about the size of a 20 cent piece( alittle smaller and it can fall forward and just lie in the bottom of the booster.. if you can get it out and press back in to the back of the booster you have solved the problem( at least it solved mine and solved it bloody well) i think what is happening with the pedal swing is the little rubber thingy is falling out and then you just have metal ( the end of the plunger coming from the pedal) suddenly slamming up against metal again. im not sure exactly but this is eliminated simply by pressing that rubber disc back in position Leighton --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
