<html><body>That passage in the workshop book:&nbsp;<span style=3D"font-=
family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The workshop manual specifi=
cally mentions =E2=80=9Cnot forgetting to fit the packing washer first=
=E2=80=9D as part of the brake master cylinder installation. It adds to=
 the confusion-looking around on the floor for the missing shims. That p=
aragraph was only to apply to the early 6 cyls. that had fixed rods. I f=
inally gave up looking when I checked the parts book. Hank</span><p clas=
