Don, and anyone else reading this that may be interested, re; clutch pedal/linkage/cable/hose and power brake booster room in A or Deuce frames. Sometimes going beyond the readily available is necessary. The booster and MC don't have to be mounted to the same bracket as the pedal, which is normally what's available. You can use an extended rod and mount the booster/MC further back on the frame rail (under floor pedal arrangement). Just make sure the rod doesn't flex, which means it should more likely be tubing rather than solid.
Of course, another option that's being offered more today is a right angle arrangement on a swing pedal. Personally I think they're too bulky for the limited under dash area on the A or Deuce roadster, but some folks will hide them with upholstered panels. Just depends on what look you're after. Also, they take considerable bracing to deal with the stresses of repeated brake application, which takes away even more room.
Both of these methods are employed to avoid the dreaded wart of a master cylinder hanging over the engine from the firewall.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
