Are They All The Same Length ?

  1. I have adjusted the rear brake pedal on the Diavel as much as I dare but still need to find a thread or two more adjustment on the master cylinder actuator rod.

    Is this likely to be a common part across a range of Ducati rear brakes or am I going to be able to find a rod with 5 to 10mm more thread ? Andy
     
  2. Visibly that looks the same length as a 749 one.
     
  3. That’s what I suspected. Looks very similar to my 748R and 1098R. Andy
     
  4. You can get longer forked ends

  6. Why do you have so much slack?
     
  7. Just buy a longer bolt, cut the head off and round the end on a bench grinder.

  8. Not slack, too much movement at the pedal before the rear brake bites for someone with small feet. Andy

  9. Found one 36mm in length offered by a kart spares seller. Just asked him what the 36mm measurement refers to so hopefully the solution. Thank you. Andy
     
  10. Or threaded bar?
     
  11. Needs to be a smooth finished surface to allow movement through the rubber boot. Andy
     
  12. Sometimes the temptation is to adjust up the slack which starts to add pressure to the hydraulic system putting the brake on.....be careful how much you adjust up..

  13. Okay, just to close this thread out. I have researched the available clevis joints and there are currently 2 automotive standard sizes with an M6 thread for the actuator rod to screw into. With a slight modification to the length of the actuator rod, the larger of the two clevis joints should give me the extra adjustment I am looking for. Thank you for all your suggestions. Andy
    PS @El Toro, solution found so this thread can be closed Terry. Many thanks, Andy
     
  14. I recognise that Andy, thank you. Andy
     
  15. Thread closed
