Nice job on the plate! Your rod and master cylinder position is quite a bit higher than the SST stuff. There's more than one way to skin a cat!
That's one thing I am worried about with my setup. I really had no idea where I should put the master vertically. I just sat in the truck and pushed the pedal and figured out how much pedal travel I wanted, then put the rod where I would get the correct master cylinder travel for the given pedal travel I wanted. I hope it doesn't end up too stiff. We shall see!
