Thanks for those pictures. This is just what I want to do!
I just looked at some w123 and w115 pedal setups in my parts collection. The w115 pedal is straight where the push rod attaches so changing the ratio will be easier.
However, one problem I noticed was the brake pedal stop is integral to the booster. Without a booster attached the return spring pulls the brake pedal back until it fully collapses the brake switch. It moves significantly higher than the clutch pedal. With the booster attached the brake pedal only moves back as much as the clutch pedal.
Since the manual brake pushrod isn't attached to the master cylinder it won't act as a travel limiter. Either the pushrod needs to work with an integral stop in the master cylinder adapter or another type of pedal stop will need to be made.
I took a few pictures of what I mean. It affects the w115 more than the w123.
BTW: The w201 booster I mentioned previously doesn't fit the w115/w123. The pushrod length is the same but the bolt pattern is smaller. Now I really want to try manual brakes.
