Looking for some advice. I have installed a Hydroboost from a 97 Mustang Cobra SVT into my MK4. I am also using the pedal box from the same donor. The push rod into the booster is angled down severely to the point where it won’t push into the booster when I press the brake pedal. It seems as though either the pedal box is about 3/4” too low or the Hydroboost mount to the footbox is 3/4” too high. I used the holes drilled in the footbox from FFR. Any suggestions? I have attached a few photos.

Are you positive they are from the same car? SN95s had some different ratio pedals

Mike, I am learning this. Pedal box is from the same car BUT I replaced the brake pedal. The replacement must have come from a car with vacuum boost. History - I originally shortened my brake pedal for manual brakes then decided to use the Hydroboost and went on a search for a replacement pedal. I think this must be how I went afoul.
