I had to cut the pedal end of the new to fit into the firewall anyway.
Laid it out on chip board and traced it. Then put the old pedal arm down and sloooooowly ground and filed down until they mated. Pinned, then tapped the pin holes. Counter sunk screws. Less than 1/16" inch movement thru stroke. Took an entire weekend. I hate it when I come up with these screwy ideas, only to spend hundreds of hours building.
Still beats the best day at work though.

I have had it both way. Currently I have a Wilwood unit mounted on the frame under the body. Once you get your system bleed and assuming you have no leaks there is really no maintenance or reason you need to be fooling with it much. I made a metal cover wrapped in the same leather as my interior. It fastens to the floor utilizing nutzirts in the floor. My floormat covers over this access door. I just wanted at well thought out/functional solution.
