Remember 1000lbs of brake line pressure is ideal, around 1200lbs under hard braking. When I build brake pedals, I shoot for a 5:1 ratio and a .750 MC works out to 1000lbs. It sounds complicated but its really not. Just shorten the distance from the pivot hole to the pushrod hole. If yours measure 3" and your pedal measures 10" that's your 3:1 ratio. All you have to do is drill a hole1" closer to the pushrod. So the distance is 2" instead of 3" that will change your pedal ratio to 5:1 and you can use a .750 MC. Ok?
