It was like 11 hours and the third post (including the original) from the OP. For a new guy to the forum, and likely new to converting brake system styles, not that big a deal. When I was new to brake systems, I didn't know that manual brake rods were almost always in a different spot.
The frustration is I told him what the problem was,then he tells me he looked at compared 2 pedals that neither one was what he has it's only 5/8ths different and that wouldn't cause a problem it would work better. I told him if he didn't believe me make a bracket,no permanent change, just to verify, explained to him how the geometry changes and works. Then he wants to make a longer pushrod to get more travel,had to explain,that doesn't give more travel and creates more problems. He emphazized,the ONLY part he reused is the brake pedal,because his car is a stick. Doesn't matter if it's auto,stick,rocket powered the pedal geometry still has to be right. It just seems like he wants to arque,and create short cuts for problems he doesn't understand. I wish I had made the suggestion once and walked away,instead of beating my head against the wall trying to let him know repeatedly what has to happen to make it work.
