Anyone know of a shorter booster to brake pedal bar for power brakes on a earlier than '73 disk A-Body? I changed out the old manual drums for disks and the booster bar from the booster to the pedal is the same length as the manual was. It is very high and the new brake are there in just tiny bit of movement. The pedal needs to be much lower as it takes a lot of time to get off the gas and up to the brake pedal then it is hard to control because it grab so fast. Needs to be more of just a tipping of the toe over to the brake rather than the large motion required now.
 
Cut, shorten, add threads. use tube nut to join halves, and lock nuts. Set height where you want it.
 
I made an 1/8" alumium spacer on my Master cylinder but non-power disk.
