So back to work this morning and the brake booster to master cylinder measuring tool was on my desk waiting for me, went and checked Frank as soon as I got home, noted that as I was undoing the nuts holding the master to the booster that there was preload. Measured with the little tool and found that it did need adjustment, it wasn’t much but needed adjustment anyway.
Haven’t tested it yet but intend to go on the next club run to the Shannon’s show so will test it then.
Finally seems I am getting some of these sorted.
Just to piss me off though, go to start my daily (2003 V6 Monaro) when we got home, the battery was a little low so it hiccuped a little but started looked at the dash and the digital odometer/trip meter etc has stopped working $#&@.

Hi Neil,
It doesn’t take much preload for your brakes to drag, I’m looking forward to your test results.
The new car electronics are a pain that’s for sure !

So many cars so little time!
Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
Try leaving the battery disconnected for 15 minutes or so mate - see if that does any good.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Neils Frankenstein Ute
Hey Greg yes I'm looking forward to getting Frank out for a drive and see if the little adjustment has made a difference and you are right modern electronics suck a fair bit one of the reasons I use the older V6.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Ascot again it has been awhile.
I did disconnect the battery on Sunday Blacky and it didn't seem to make any difference the illumination was there but no numbers etc but you wouldn't believe it but bugger me I'm driving to work this morning in the rain and just before I got to the office it has started working with the correct Odo and all WTF
