Default master cylinder adjustment.

i have upgraded my rst brakes using 300mm discs and mk3 mondeo calipers. after replacing the m/cyl i have some pressure and the brakes work but still a fair bit of travel at the pedal. going to bleed some more. anyway i noticed the servo stroke can be adjusted (7mm dome nut) however there is only the one nut and the whole shaft turns. can someone explain wether this nut should undo or should the whole shaft turn to gain adjustment. id appreciate any feedback, cheers

Yer use grips on the shaft (ooerr...) then undo. Small amount makes a big difference tho! Dont let it get to the point where the pressure cause the calipers to drag
