5th time is a charm

Well, worked the last 2 nights on getting the pedal cluster mounted. After installing it and taking it off 5 times, I finally got it installed correctly. I kept finding parts I forgot... I had the brake pedal shortened for use with manual brakes and I am using a master cylinder from a 1986 SVO which came from the factory with 4 wheel disk brakes.
I jacked with the factory gas pedal and I couldn't find a position I liked. The instructions say to cut 2 inches off of it and remount the pedal. Most comments on ffcobra.com say this turns it into an on/off switch since it is so short. I've been trying to bend it in different directions to get the same effect while maintaining the length. It is also too far over to the right. I may just break down and spend the 80 bucks to get a Russ Thompson Gas pedal...

Next on the agenda will be the Rear axle rebuild... Oh boy!!! Yes, Will I will try and get some pictures posted...
