The link to the above instructions alludes to this problem but suggests no solution. I have spent hundreds of dollars in the last couple of weeks on this 1512 for missing and worn parts so I am not opposed to spending a few more dollars to replace worn out parts.
Should I begin by trying to find a replacement for the 703-0198 Cam Assembly? and if that does not do it try to find a replacement for the 703-0194Plate Assembly (if an alternate is available)? Is it possible to replace the pin in the 703-0200 Control Rod? Should I ignore this problem since the brake is unnecessary except for parking?

Of the dozen or so hydros that I have, I have adjusted most of them and very few are perfect.
I do understand wanting one to be "right", although for me, getting close is usually good enough. It all depends on how much it bothers you.
Keep in mind that I have never done this, but if I were wanting to attempt to make one perfect (without buying new parts). I would screw the clevis onto the control rod, just a tiny bit at a time, to see if that would eliminate some of the "slop" that contributes to this problem. If it doesn't, then new parts would be in order. Depending on wear, cam pivot bracket, control rod and/or cam control. The pins on the control rod probably show more wear than anything else, If you are going to buy parts, I would start with that.
