Clutch arm options......

The F1 I'm building is getting a 351W with a 4 speed toploader, and during the fit up, I'm finding that the stock clutch arm is just a tad longer than will easily fit past the stock brake pedal operation. I am wondering if there are different lengths of those arms at all?? If so, what rigs did they exist in, and are there any stamped steel replacements available? I don't want to go any further on the linkage fab work until this issue can be solved.

Thanks in advance......

I think I worded the initial question poorly here. The clutch arm I am talking about is the one in the bell housing that came with the 351W. I'll work on a photo later today. It is just long enough that the F1 brake pedal will hit it when depressed. Kind of make it tough to use the clutch and brake at the same time?? (grin)
