Agreed. I wound up using the Strange pushrod with the OEM retainer and clevis. I also replaced the OEM pin and clip with a 3/8" bolt and "double nuts" so that there basically no chance of it coming loose.

Be sure to put some kind of stop on the pedal to prevent it from coming back up far enough to disengage the pushrod from the master cyl.
A few of the members on this board have had some wild rides because of this.

Tom is correct. I put a bolt/nut stop where the OEM brake switch was located.

Thanks all for the suggestions. Especially for the heads up on the push rod.

I filed out the master cylinder so the bolts would fit, then I used an after market clevis which is longer to make up for the short push rod.
