Got it bolted in. Learned a few things today. Master Cylinder moves a little over inch! Lever moves 3 inches!! Put the unit in a vice and pulled on the lever wondering why it moved so little? It was stuck a little for the first pull on it then it moved a lot! Had to make a adapter to put the 1 1/4" master cylinder on it has a deeper hole. Not a big deal just had to measure it up to make it fit the same as the old one. I will have one pivot point of 3 to 1 to use the original rods push distance. No way to stick the unit down next to the frame just no room for the master cylinder and it would have to be angled like I thought. Got it in a good spot and it will work. I will take a few pictures after late lunch. But it is mounted solid as a rock to the frame and you can still remove the levers for adjusting it. The lever lines up strait to the original rod and the pivot can bolt to the bottom of the frame channel. The original rod will attach to the bottom of a flat lever with the pivot point below it and that lever will connect to the other lever above it. Then I can raise and lower the rod till it gives me the right push on the new master cylinder. Much easier than I thought it would be!!
