German Master Cylinder Boot & Brake Pushrod Issue

I don't think the boot needs to be modded. The "fold back on itself" isn't really a problem—it's the way you find them in nature (or, at least in old Beetles). I think just install it like it is and be happy.

Edsnova, you are right. After heating a larger diameter to open the boot hole, it was fully extended and butts up against the pushrod adjustment nut. So, now when compressing the brake, it does fold back, not as dramatically as before. I have now two option, be happy with what I have or tear the boot off and done with it. If the boot is removed and the MC every breaks its seal, it will run into the fire wall and not on the interior carpet. Its madness I say 

I think that is all by design to keep fluid from leaking onto your floor. It is supposed to be tight.

Bill, thought the same. But, not to crazy if the MC fails the fluid is trapped in the boot and compressing it would squeeze brake fluid onto my carpeting. The old Chinese MC I had before had no boot and when it leaked the fluid ran between the firewalls.
