This is what's recommended in the Bishop-Tardel book using the early Ford master cylinder. They even give you a drawing of the bracket for the master cylinder. I did the set up for my brother's '32 and found out that the ratio of the pedal to the pivot and the master cylinder piston is 4:1. It seems that on most cars, that ratio is 6:1 and the 4:1 ratio requires a bunch more force on the pedal to get the same amount of whoa! For my 'A', I designed my own K member, moving the master cylinder up enough to get that 6:1 ratio. I had to make a new pedal bracket and a ledge in the K member to hold it. I also made my own pedals out of 3/8 plate. Worked out nicely.
