Angry help

Hey guys/gals I need a little help. I bought a power brake setup for my 68 and in the process of installing it. However, either I'm not doing it right or the stars and planets aren't inline... Anyway, my problem is adjusting the linkage under the dash I can't get the bolt back in the brake pedal. The steering column is in the way of the hole. The only way to make it work is to adjust it way in. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just did this mod...

I had to remove the plate at the bottom of the dash that holds the steering column up and let it sag to get the stupid bolt in.
It is still aggravating, but you can get it in. Even more aggravating is adjusting the brake light switch!

Thanks for the replies...

Finally after messing around with the thing I finally got that stupid bolt in. They should have reversed it and put it on the other side. That would have made my life a lot easier today. Anyway, now I have to bleed my brakes. I think I'm going to pick up some of those handy bleeder valves so I don't have to bother my girlfriend...

In case your interested
