Purdy: Thanks for that. I will try your suggestions.

Patrick: Thanks for clarifying. I will try your suggestions which are similar to Purdy's.

There is no "standard length" on late '28 through '31 models (after the equalizer system). If you have not adjusted the rods to remove the play at the levers then you have not even begun to adjust your brakes! Please reread my previous post.
