CNC machined brake linkage due to low brake pedal after power brake conversion

After making an adjustable mock up tool (previous post of mine), I developed a STP file and had a linkage machined made on a CNC mill.

Update. I got the link installed and then went for a cruise around my hood. My "hood" is rural.

Since you added the groove you probably should add the spring thats supposed to ride in the groove...

It's been my understanding that the spring that rides in that groove was only there on stick shift cars. But, I'm not 100% sure on that. Is the spring just an "anti-rattle" type thing?

Spring should be there on all cars... I've owned both manual & auto trans cars that had the spring... My guess is it's to prevent rattles but since I've never had one rattle I'd like to believe it has some other purpose...

Gotcha. With all the other noises going on when I drive my junk, hearing a tiny brake pedal linkage "rattle" is way down on my priority list. LOL
