Spindles/Brake Pedal_Too Much Travel
Hey all. I've got about 3-3.5" of travel on my brake pedal before it does anything. What can be done about this? I keep having to put the pedal all the way to the floor to stop completely. I suspect I might have a leaky brake line.
Also, trying to find a decent set of wheels, but I've got 3" spindles on my hubs and it's limiting my options for a 5x4.75" lug pattern. What have you guys done to get around this? Are these spindles interchangeable? Thanks all! Sean |

Re: Spindles/Brake Pedal_Too Much Travel
I converted my truck to discs and power. i have a ton of travel before my brakes engage, but when they do they work perfect. I bled the brakes several times including gravity bleeding... nothing changes they travel. Any ideas guys?
I was thinking of switching my setup to a 72 style compound booster linkage to help with the travel. Any thoughts? Anybody done this?

When I swapped mine over to power and disc it was the same way. From reading on here I drilled a new hole in my brake pedal one inch below the factory one. Helped a lot

Re: Spindles/Brake Pedal_Too Much Travel
I used a stock GM power brake booster and didn't have to drill anything. I also adapted my adjustable rod to it.
