There should be a 1/4 plate bolted at thebottem to the lateral frame rail and reinforced with an angle arm on the inside in front/bottom of the foot box. The plate is about 8 inches wide and extends up to where the steering column frame and master cylinder bolt to it.Sounds like this plate was not installed. It come predrilled and is an absolute regardless of what it takes to install it. Others on here may be able to say how much thrust is on the brake rod link. I just sold a kit with one on loose that i could have made a template of. Pull the column and make a cardboard template.Too much to chance here
