As you pull on the actuating rod the links pull on the actuator plate to apply the brakes. The way the brakes are designed they apply the most force when the actuator just starts to move. As you pull farther out on the rod the angle of the link changes so that they will no longer apply as much force as they continue to move. Adding washers may give you a hard pedal but you will not have much braking action.
You have four surfaces that wear in addition to the disks. You need to remove enough material from the mating surface from the cover to compensate for all the wear. On 560s I have removed .125 to get good braking action.
It sure would be nice if someone were to manufacture disks with thicker lining to compensate for the wear.
