Juice brake problems

[denis4x4]

There's a very easy, inexpensive fix that uses the brake cross piece. As you can see in the photo, I'm running a T-5 and the master cylinder is mounted under the passenger side floor board for easy access. I even cut down a brake rod to connect to the MC. In fact, I used existing holes to mount the MC on the crossmember. I threw in a second photo showing how the crossmember was reinforced before somebody makes a comment of cutting an A crossmember for a T5 installation

After reading many of the posts here pointing out that mechanical brakes are far superior to hydraulics, I starting having a complex. After twenty plus years of driving A's with hydraulics, I don't have rusted lines, burst hoses, leaky wheel cylinders or bad master cylinders.

One of the mechanical brake gurus out there needs to tell me what I'm doing wrong!
