Dual brake master upgrade for Alpine 4 cyl

Went down the road of using a B1600 dual master for my 4 cyl alpine with a weber 32/36 carb.

In order to make it work, I made a spacer that clocked the master by 40 degrees. I'll attach dimensions below. This cleared the throttle linkage and brace well. Since the steering column mount is in the way of though bolts now, I threaded the spacer so that it is bolted to the firewall from the inside, and then the master is bolted to the spacer from the outside (with short bolts). Spacer is machined out of steel w/ 5/16-24 hardware. Made my own pushrod/clevis, and since the pushrod on this master is not retained in the master, I put a bolt through the hole where the throttle pedal return spring goes on the brake pedal assy, to create a brake pedal stop. This just prevents your foot from accidentally being able to "pull" the brake pedal up too far. Don't think the pushrod would ever come out anyway, but just a piece of mind.

Borrowing off @Toyanvil 's remote reservoir setup, I needed the BMW angled nipples, and some 7mm brake hose. I made a bracket for the reservoir, and just ground down the flares on the reservoir nipples to be able to get the hose on since it's made for a 3/8 line. TO NOTE: This master uses M10x1.25 fittings, originally banjo bolts. I wanted standard fittings, and they were near impossible to find. Just an FYI to order those early so you're not waiting on parts like I was.
