Brake pedal travel adjustment. 230.

[Paul99]

My brake pedal moves quite a bit before it "engages" or starts to do anything. Is there any adjustment to remove the excess travel before the brakes start to function?

Adjust the rear brake shoes?

Good idea.

Also, there is an eccentric bolt connecting the brake rod to the booster.  The little mark should point to the rear.

Also 2, there is a plastic stop that fits around the brake light switch.  It has probably fallen apart, and that will increase pedal travel. 

Good luck,
