face=Arial>So what changed? I've looked at the pans, and there's no change
<BR>listed as of that VIN, and no change for the pedal cluster then,
<BR>either. I can't find anything else that changed at that VIN. I know
<BR>Bob H. has been down this road, and he even has a photo of the 2
<BR>styles of pushrods, side by side. The late pushrod is a lot longer,
<BR>right, Bob? Did you have to replace your pushrod when you upgraded?

<DIV>To be honest, I don't know what changed either. Pans, and toe panel
section are alike, so that's not it. I've never measured the pedal
cluster location to see IF the difference might be in it's location. I
only mention that, as in 68 the tunnel DID get a new boxier shape
(in preparation for AT). VW even changed the location of the shifter with the
new tunnel.</DIV>

<DIV>Yes, I did swap to the later longer pushrod. The difference is 15+ mms. I
only say that, as the stock early pushrod is 143.5 mm, while the late needs to
be 153.5 mm, plus the extra section of threaded rod inside to get it longer.
That's the problem you run into with the early pushrod, you don't have enough
length to get to the 153.5 mm length. I always thought that the extra length
was to make sure the front circuit worked, if you had a failure of the rear
circuit (safety feature). I will say my brakes do work very well, with a nice
solid pedal right at the top of the stroke though. Combined with the DoT 5
brake fluid, they're very good. : )
