And I had a chance to use my Facom angle wrench, the perfect tool for the outer adjuster.

With that, I have done just about everything on the winter list.

You set the inside, as well - right?

Yes I did--thanks for the reminder check. And the pedal feels very firm so I will skip another round of bleeding for now.

Still thinking about the somewhat weak brake performance from last summer, I remembered to see how much flex the master cylinder shows with the pedal pushed hard. With me in the car and my wife looking in from the side, I pushed and she said "It moves!"

When I restored the floor the area around the pedal cluster looked very solid.

I pulled the splash pan off and confirmed that I could pull the MC down . The motion is mostly vertical.

I know that people have applied different devices that brace the MC against the suspension cross tube. For fun, I tried to create something new. Here's my solution, a section of 1/8 x 1.5" bar, with a short bracket welded to it. I notched the bar to fit between the trailing braces on the cross tube.

Close up of the bracket, made from a piece of 1/8 x 3/4" stock.

First installation. I know the hose clamp is a bit ghetto, but I want to see how it works. I used some 1/8" dense rubber sheet as a pad. The end of the MC sits in metal to metal contact on the new bracket.

The MC seems much stiffer when I pulled on it, and my wife claims it did not move when I pushed hard on the brake pedal. This might work. I will test it on the road, and then see if I can refine the mounting method.

I have to admit I don't know yet--but stay tuned.

I decided to add one more brace to the master cylinder, and made a sandwich of two 1/4" aluminum scrap pieces. They fit snug and will keep the MC from flexing forward.

I re-installed the splash shield. Some dirty spots hide the lumpiness.

Time to put the wheels on--got out the mounting lugs, even though those little 914 Fuchs wheels are nice and light.

My 914 is back on its own wheels for the first time since last December. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

That pretty much clears the winter task list.

OK, here's the start to the driving season list. I really want to learn Tuner Studio and optimize the MegaSquirt this year.
