Front shock vs brake rod

[Mel Larsen]

I'm VERY new here so take heed. How much clearance do you need to clear the shock? In my mind if it's only a inch or less, I would make some sort of offset in the rod and still have a straight pull to the brake.

In my case the rod got caught on the shock adjusting stud when the car leaned to the left--going around a right turn. A clearance of 1/4" is enough if body roll doesn't cause my problem
