i added a washer to mine as it didn't line up very well, I think it might be a GD brace on a GC brake booster. i didn't want it to try drilling through ...

if you dont notice the difference, you probably never pushed the brake pedal hard enough before!!

tighten it till it feels irresponsibly tight, otherwise your not putting any tension on the master cylinder.

Changed to a longer high tensile socket head bolt and used a cap of a clamp to give it a flat surface to press on the cylinder. Tightened to "irresponsibly tight" as suggested by stace and it seems quite firmer now.

Doesnt sit in the centre of the cylinder bit on contact though, does this matter??

that should be fine, mine sits a bit of centre but the cap provided covers plenty of the cylinder.

yes mine is a bit right of centre too but you should be able to look at and see that its going to stop the cylinder movement.

Bumpy, found this thread quite useful in making sense of the Cusco BCS install.

I was having a bit of trouble with the Japanese instructions
