There may even be additional benefit although I am no engineer. There are some really clean approaches to this like Tom?s that add bushings and the collar.
The master cylinders are intended to be actuated in a straight line. The geometry of the Vans pedals doesn?t do this, they put a side load on the shaft. ( per discussion with Matco). This side load wears the shaft and seal and they will eventually leak. (Mine did at about 600 hours.)
Perhaps the added spring with collar and bushings will help with the shaft side load issue? Perhaps not.
