I came up with a solution for my dragging brakes and the sloppy pedal mounts. I've seen builders use bolts for the hinge point and springs on the master cylinder pistons. I didn't like using the spring on my master cylinder pistons. I thought over time it would scar the piston. The geometry from the factory setup is less than ideal. I know a lot of builders don't have this problem but I was tired of having the loose bolts hold the pedal to alleviate friction for the pedal to return. The internal spring in the master cylinders aren't strong enough to pull the pedal back to release the brake fluid. Here is a pic of my solution. This way the rudder moves freely and the springs push the pedal back. I'll put a kit together which may also have a bolt/bushing combo that allows tightening of the master cylinder to pedal joint.
