hi all I wondered if anyone knew how to adjust the rod on the brake master cylinder on a series 2. Recently put a new master on and I must have adjusted it wrong as when I drive all four brake start to stick once I press the pedal a few times so fluid isn’t being pushed back in to brake Reservoir any help appreciated regards scott

With the pedal held up by the spring there should be a little slack between the rod and the end of master cylinder piston 1.6mm given in a book I have.
Adjust nuts to give this slack.
