Default clutch master cylinder and clutch pedal won't match

I'm not sure which is correct for my sc300. I'm doing a auto/manual swap and noticed that the clutch pedal bracket does not line up with the clutch master cylinder. The master cylinder looks symmetrical while the bracket is not. I'm not sure if I got the wrong clutch pedal bracket. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Picture of clutch master cylinder. It's symmetrical while the bracket is not. Or maybe, this is how it's suppose to be. Want to ask someone first before I go back to Lexus and fork over more $$$.

Thanks for the quick reply 97-sc300. I'm suprised and glad it's the master cylinder and not the clutch pedal bracket. I'll just go back to Checker auto and tell them what's up. They must of got it mixed up at the warehouse because they keep asking if my sc300 was turbo or not. I was confused for a bit because I don't know of any factory turbo SC.

I got it from checker for $56 and took 2 days to get it. I was shocked because it's usually $90-$100 around the net. I guess I'm not so lucky after all but I am glad I bought it from down the street and it's not over a month yet. Should of compared it before I drill all those holes in the firewall. LOL. I guess no pain no gain. I'm actually learning a lot doing the 1jz/R154 swap.

If you have time, would it be possible to request a picture of your actual clutch master cylinder so I won't be fooled again. I can't find a decent picture around the net. There are only generic pictures. If not, that's cool too.

Thanks a lot 97. My current (wrong) master cylinder does look way different from the correct one. Acutally I was following that thread a while back to see what driveshaft to use but forgot all about it. Thanks again.
