MP adjustable brake MC pushrod

Got this for my disc swap in my 71 Demon and wondering why it's so long? It's a good 1.5" longer than a stock one even when screwed all the way in (shortest position)

I'm doing manual brakes and the pedal is maxed out forward-

it's fine for now - I'm just trying to get the thing together BUT I'd just like to know how to remedy the high pedal when the dash comes out the summer...

Maybe cut and re weld the brake pedal so the pedal sits further back?
