Default Smaller diameter brake booster?

Hello, I’ve got a set of Flowtech up and forward headers and trying to get the #7 primary to clear the brake booster. I can probably artfully dent the booster and primary and get what I need, but I thought I’d check and see if you have better options. The pic I’m showing is without the header bolted up or even really close so just showing the basic location. Manual brakes are a possibility, but I’d rather keep the feel that I have. I’d probably weld in another primary before I do that. Thank you.

It would be a lot easier to dent the header tube, than the booster.

But a little in both should do no harm.

Thanks Stevie, It’s quite a bit worse that it looks because the header is a long way from being bolted up yet. I considered dinging the booster AND the primary, but there are some 7” boosters that would give me another inch radially. I may yet go that way, but I think I’m going to try a dual master manual Wilwood setup with balance bar first. The good news it looks like a problem with solutions. It didn’t look that way at first lol.
