Got the pedals done, like I said the pedals I got off of a buddy had the clutch pedal chopped off but at least I had the pivot with the needle bearing in tact and only needed to turn a brake pedal into a clutch pedal. I used the press to smash the brake lever flat and then cut the pedal off and welded it back on in the correct spot and of coarse welded it onto the pivot. Then it was on to making the pedal stop arm and a bracket to fasten the new hyd linkage too.
Here's what I started with, the complete assembly is a loner for me to copy (right). The middle one will provide the pivot and bracket and the left one is one I had laying around that will I used to make the missing pedal.
After straightening and adding the stop.
This is what I came up with to get the rod aligned, it's just an offset bracket with plenty of room for mounting locations. I didn't make it exactly where it needed to be because I wanted a small bushing in there to allow the rod end some wiggle room.
Here's the stop, I had this bumper laying around from a bumper kit I bought and never knew where it went........until now.
I'm not a fan of having a shoulder bolt just tightened down on a single side especially on something where if it broke you loose all brakes! I threw this little bracket together to make me feel better, it means you have to shear both ends off now.
Here's the finished product, I still haven't made the bushing but you can see how straight the rod is. :headbang:
After all of that work I walk outside and nearly bust my butt.............. the white crap is everywhere! Great, there's almost certainly salt on the roads now.

Forgot to mention after reading the install directions they said if using a diaphragm style pressure plate (not the 3 finger type) do not use the over center pedal spring. Thought I'd mention that because CDRs hawkeye will notice it's missing haha.
