Brakes better work now

I lost you on 1/2" = 2". Remove your brake lamp switch and see if it will bolt up then. If so, but you then can't install the switch, or the pedal is too high for your preference, you need a shorter brake rod. If your rod was from a manual MC (post 5), it will definitely be too long.

Post a photo (or link) of this Tuiff-Stuff (sp?) setup so we know what you are dealing with.
