Brake Master cylinder issue

The first problem to overcome adapting the BMW E30 master cylinder to the new brake servo is the length of the push tube. This protudes 50mm from the fixing flange of the M/C but even with the adapter plate installed this is 25mm to much (black mark).

 

So the question is do I dive in an cut it off at that point?

 

My only concern is that this will see the rod pass well inside the M/C when fully compressed so will there be fluid leaks? I may have to take it apart and measure some of the internals

 

the testing of the new servo was done against a ford M/C which may have more suitable dimensions
