Thanks for the pictures! Took my pedal out today and measured the distance between the stud and the next hole up. It was about 5/8 to 3/4 inch. I got a long grade 8 bolt, cut the threads off and welded the non threaded part into the hole (I left the head on to have some more surface for the weld) and drilled a hole for the clip. I put the pedal back it and bolted it all up. The rod goes straight into the booster, instead of up at an angle. Now I stab the brakes and, although a little more travel, it will send you into the windshield!

Now I need to get my hands on the spring bracket and brake switch bracket.
