just me though, overthinking things.it is a safety item though.
does the booster push rod adjust at all?
check the stroke on the master while it is accessible and then make sure your booster stroke will go at least that far when the pedal is pushed to the floor. this will ensure a full stroke with a full pedal travel. I know, disc brakes need less fluid for an application but if you have ever had a brake problem, like a blown brake flex line that uses a lot of fluid per stroke until the master is empty on that circuit, you will know what I mean. these things don't usually happen in the driveway.
good luck, keep the pics coming with what your fix looks like. great job troubleshooting.

Thanks Dsraven
yes it took a lot of measurement to get this thing right,the spacer is not hollow the hole in the end is .300" deep and I used a ball mill in my lathe to cut the bottom,hope this takes care of the problem.I need to make an adjustable push rod,I ordered a 3/8"-24 left hand tap,an left hand heim joint and a piece of 9/16" hex stock,amazon prime is taking a long time for the hex stock to get here
