The original post implies that the front brakes are using Girling long rear levers. Surely these wouldn't work, they should be cranked for Bowdenex.
As mentioned in a previous post long levers foul on the axle if fitted to the rear. In the 60s I used long rear levers on my 1930 car. To avoid them fouling I had the levers pointing upwards but also swapped the cams side to side to get the correct angle wrt the cable. Worked well but the pedal did move with axle movement - not a problem with split braking.
