Hey Frank: Without looking at the installation (with the floor board
removed) I can not tell what is wrong. However, the master cylinder may be
mounted
on the out side of the area built to hold it. I have seen this a couple of
times. There is a triangular area that the hold down bolt goes through that is
to the left of the braces on the left side of the control column. I believe
the brake master cylinder was originally mounted inside the triangular area on
the bolt shaft that ran from inside to outside (the nut was on the outside).
This provides a level mounting area and allows the master cylinder to move
fore and aft as you press on the pedal or pull on the hand brake. As others
have pointed out, there is not much clearance between the brake arm and the
rudder pedals.
The brake arm appears to come out of the floor board oriented in a fore
and aft orientation. It does not lean or point towards the control column. If
yours has an angle towards the control column, I think you are correct in
the assumption it is not mounted correctly.
