I guess I'll just stick with the lower hole instead of drilling an even lower hole. Hopefully it won't put too much tension on the pushrod. I was really hoping it would just line up perfectly, but I'll try this and if it binds I can always go back and drill another hole lower.
Did you guys set up a return spring to avoid brake drag, or was that a non-issue? I'm just trying to guess what's going to go wrong next. Seeing as the rear bleeder screw snapped, I'm just going to replace both rear cylinders, shoes, springs, and drums, and just start fresh with 100% new brake system all the way around. Well except for my brake pedal, that's the only part that won't be new. Haha
