Power Brake booster assembly
A couple of parts fell out of the front of my new power brake booster, and I need to reassemble it. Unfortunately I don't have any references here at home to go off of, and would like to reassemble and install it tonight. Does anyone here know how these parts are installed into this hole, and in which direction (I labelled the top) they go in? Thanks a bunch.

1. Master Cylinder push rod housing
2. Short Cylinder push rod
3. Long Cylinder push rod
4. Pushrod/Booster gasket.
Which cylinder push rod is chosen is a function of the distance between #1 when it's fully seated in the booster and the depth of the Master Cylinder piston port. The idea is to have enough length to engage the master cylinder without excessive pedal travel nor having the rod prevent the master cylinder's piston from fully disengaging (causing brake drag.)
