The brake light switch might not be able to be adjusted far enough to allow your pedal to retract farther than the rubber bump stop

All of this is possible for sure! This d@mn thing has been fighting me every step of the way on this adventure.

The brake switch is indeed a problem right now as my friend and helper pulled the brake pedal right through it, crushing part of the switch and bending its metal mounting tab. I was going to wait to repair that until I got the brakes where I want them, but you bring an interesting point I hadn't considered. Will it adjust as far as I'm moving the pedal arm? Oh boy...another potential problem area!
