he probably had an adjustable rod that came out of the booster and hooked to the brake pedal.

actually, the way i fixed it [for the time being] is, i adjusted the brakelight switch, so it wont let the pedal come the whole way up, thats how the PO had it rigged, 8) , but, i am making a actual stop for it at work,, im a CNC machinist at Penn United Technology, in Cabot Pennsylvania, and employee's are allowed to do stuff for themselfes/home, as long as they ok it with a manager, and do it off company hours :)
Thank you , guys, you have been of much help, and it is appreciated!

Brother, I have the utmost respect for CNC machinists.

I think that it would be awesome to be able to fabricate parts on a CNC!

Especially for free on someone else's equipment!

Pardon me, Jeff. Don't you mean 24 tools on each changer/turret, 12 on each side?
People that put "Proud To Be American" bumper stickers on their Import cars REALLY irritate me.
