I elected to pick up two pieces of mild steel plate, 4" x 12", a quarter inch thick. I made a rough template from cardboard, and began hack sawing and drilling.


I then cut a hole in the plate to allow the stock brake pedal return spring to operate correctly, you're going to' need that of course. |

Cleaned up the plate and the holes cut. Primed and painted black for the final installation. |
 |
I also had to lengthen the brake connection rod, a piece of longer 7/16" diameter round rod did the trick, grinded, filed and drilled the ends to match the crimped ends on the original. |

With the "rear" photo, you can really appreciate the difference from stock. |
|
On the left side, you'll need to lengthen the 8" shifter rod to 12". I did it with a 1/4" x 20 "coupler nut" and a length of threaded rod. It is a bit more involved than just this, but the rod is all that needs to be modified on the left side, as the brake pedal rod was on the right side.
