Not only that but if it's too long, and you hammer your brakes, wont you compress the cylinder too far into the MC and cause a blow-out? There is only so much of an effective "window" in there am I right?

I have had to adjust this rod many times, almost always because a PO or non VW mechanic has messed with it.
The whole braking system must be in perfect working order and properly adjusted before you start and you must really know what you are doing. Always measure it before you start so that you can go back if you get screwed up. When adjusted the rod can not be pushing at all on the MC plunger. You must have a full understanding of the VW braking system and know how to judge cause and effect.
If you have any doubt's about the workings of your braking system at all, then leave this rod alone and seek professional (VW bug)help.
This is your life your playing with!
P.S. BAD AD RAG! GO SIT IN THE CORNER!! SIT!
