I had seen that tool. I adjusted the pin using the ruler off a micrometer. Should be pretty close. The adjustment that has me more worried is the one from the pedal to the booster. Did you move the location of where that rod attaches to the pedal? Our pedal is about 12.5 inches long, the rod attaches about 2 inches down from where it hinges. Thats about a 6 to 1 ratio. In order to get a 4 to 1 ratio, I need to drill a hole about an inch lower and attach the rod there. Am i to worried about this? does it really matter? Thanks for your help
