Thanks for the pictures, did you create horizontal braces under the dash that I cannot see, or simply mount to the vertical surface of the firewall? Do you like the pedal feel?

I like the pedal setup--this car is so much cleaner than mine... What the guy up there said warrants some attention, though, regarding bracing the firewall. At minimum, I'd weld on/in an extra section of 1/8 plate to where you bolted the pedal assembly (spread out, of course), even if the pedal pressures seem pretty light with the hydraulics (there's always the leverage from the pedals themselves, which transfers to the bolts in that sheetmetal). I did this (welded in a 6x6 steel plate) where I mounted my electric power steering unit (right under the M/C), and the thing still would definitely benefit from further stiffening, probably between the shock tower and the firewall (see Walt Hane's fix at EPS).
My car is the perpetual re-do...
