Does anyone have a clue here?<<

Here's a real longshot...

On my Milano the brake MC was bad and I had to replace it.
In the process of replacing the MC the 3/8" tip of the vacuum
booster actuating rod came off and the new MC was put on without
the tip in place. The result was excessive brake pedal travel
before the brakes would grab. This makes sense, since the
actuator rod was too short. Finally figured it. This happened
to another Digester too. Possibly something to check out.
