Re: Manual brake conversion

Am curious about what happens at the pedal side to accommodate the end mount type masters.
It would appear with mounting the setup in the original frame location the thickness of the bracket plus the extra distance needed to accommodate the widely spaced mounting ears of the new master, the center line of the assembly will be moved a good two inches or more inward from the original master. What was done at the pedal side pivot attachment point or to the push rod itself to move the cylinder side end of the rod so it can meet the piston center in a straight line?
Looking at a photo of the original master and how the rod comes thru an opening in the frame, there does not look to be a lot of room for rod position changes. Also, what happens to the bellcrank for the shift linkage?
