I would just go with the flow now.

You dont need anywhere near all the standard pedal travel (atleast not for the SU anyway) so if you bolt it back on at a slight angle you will probably be able to space it off or adjust the stoppers to get it somewhere you are comfortable with and still have full throttle travel.

One thing I can promise you is you will have enough bulkhead clerance!
