> I have a couple of questions about the adaptor plate that you're using. How long is the MC and adaptor plate from the mounting surface?
I'll have to measure, but I think you may run into problems.
> How thick is it?
About half an inch. You could buy yourself that half inch back by using a MC from a '67-'69 122. It is dual circuit but has the vertical mounts. I recall having a devil of a time finding a new one, though. You might be better off buying a good used one and rebuilding it.
> Is it just 4 bolt holes (are the vertical holes recessed?) and 1 center hole for the piston?
Yes on all accounts.
> Is there something more to the kit than the plate?
You can buy the MC from ipd too, but I got it from another online place, the Parts Bin. (A funny story, but when I got off the phone with Shayne at ipd after ordering said part, my boss called and proceeded to call me into his office and lay me off!) You will also need to come up with an alternative to connect the pedal and MC, as the original has a yolk that fits the pedal arm, but the new MC will have just a sleeve sticking out the back. I made something from threaded metal stock.
> I hear that the brake pedal arm needs a stop or the piston rod will fall out?
I've heard that, too but I've not had a problem. I have a motion-activated brake light switch and that holds everything in place. Even so, when I've had the switch out the pedal didn't fly up or anything. I don't recall exactly what held it there, though.
