Re: 1939 Brake Pedal / Cluster assembly

Problem was actually seriously worn holes where the linkages for the clutch connect to the "U" shaped bracket. Pulled the bracket off, welded the holes closed, drilled and reamed the holes to the proper size and all is well. Additionally, instead of being out of adjustment for the clutch pedal, now have about 1.5" of adjustment made available again!

New question, guess I didn't do a great job bleeding the brakes when I replaced the master a couple of month ago. Bled the brakes and they are fine now. However, my helper was a bit anxious and pushed the pedal down before I was able to put the master cylinder reservoir cap back on. Really surprised at the volume of brake fluid that ebbed out. I am used to a small burp or tiny geyser, but this emptied about half of the reservoir. Is that normal? Brakes seem fine and have a good solid pedal
