In order to get the required 4:1 pedal leverage needed by the MPB booster, I relocated the stock pivot brackets up the inside of the firewall near the external cowl lip. I cut down the pivot bar left side (Wilwood clutch pedal on the left of the picture):
I made a mockup using some bendable steel flat and duct tape. I had my local machine shop duplicate the dog-leg bends with welded 1/8IN steel "U" channel.
The pedal is in exactly the stock position and distance from the toe board. The pedal leverage is exactly 4:1.
Here is a closeup of the pivot thru bolt used to attach the MPB threaded actuator rod and heim end to the modified brake pedal arm:
