Be careful that u do not run out of pedal travel before u run out of cylinder stroke. That's the problem i had using the oem 56 pedal. I extended the oem pedal away from the firewall alot like your set up. The problen is that the pedal hit the floor before the master cylinder bottomed out.

The oem Packard brake pedal is just not long enuf. NOT a problem to cut and extend it but i really did not want to cut any real nice oem parts. I didn't have a cull oem pedal to play with. So i just used the F pedal and bracket. IT also alowwed me to use the F stop lite sw. ALOT better than the oem Packard pressure sw which is about as worthless as tits on a bull
