Hey - Once I got the brake master cylinders level with each other I noticed there is quite a bit of slack for side to side movement. I assume you're suppose to bring them together so there is not slack, but can't figure it out. Any tips?

Thanks!

There's supposed to be some slack per the directions to allow for the brake bias to be adjusted without binding. 0.25" if I recall correctly between the 2 sides

The build manual shows the proper spacing. This video from Wilwood also shows it. Uses two quarters to check the gap. https://youtu.be/ZYK4VEOae6w. What maybe isn't as obvious is how to adjust it. You have to unscrew one of the master cylinder pushrods so that one clevis can be spun around on the balance bar to get the proper spacing.
