Yes, the brake pedal (if using the original set-up) goes through the wedge.
I welded an extra strip downwards from the wedge, with a hole in it so I could bolt it through the old brake pivot hole.
This gives a three point mounting which helps support the column on its wedge and saves the body strut under the dash from doing a lot of work.
If you only need a small amount: my first go at this involved making a wedge from 6mm ali which was in effect a thick washer on the main wedge's rear mount, between wedge and chassis.
I think this gave me about an extra inch or so under the wheel, which was all I needed at that time, and was crude but reasonably solid because of my third bolt as described.
