The original pedal used the 2 floor pivots to absorb a lot more of that force than I realized. I had to make a plate to reinforce the mount area on the firewall.
At this point, you could use the mounting bolts to hold a painted reinforcement in place without welding, maybe even on the inside to hide it.

Thanks, that is a good idea. Since the build thread is so far behind the actual build, I can tell you I ended up just using the OE pivot (from the donor car) with a new adjustable length rod and peddle.

I do have a complete fold down rear seat I picked up years ago for my 68, but Ive yet to install it since 80% of my interior is still original and in great shape.

You should post a pic of the differences. I didn't know or have forgotten (that's highly likely
) the pattern differences.
The left side has caught up to the right. I remembered thinking the arm rests look good without the ashtrays.
