Mounting and Connections
Check the mounting, connections, and alignment of the control unit. The 160 mm dimension refers to the length of the rod from the mounting point, not the length of the body. The shaft thread is for the mechanical connection; it is separate from the hydraulic threads.
Master cylinders are individually adjusted during manufacturing: do not interchange rods, pistons, or internal components between different assemblies.
