looks OK to me,

have you checked the accel/clutch pedals will give you enough cable travel with the pivot point where it is??.

How are you planning on getting a bolt through the brake pivot?

Yep, brake pivot will be a prob as will throttle (cable) travel unless you run a bellcrank in the linkage on the engine.





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning

How about shifting the brake pivot point forward a bit.

Will let you get the bolt in, and would also make it easier to rev match your downshifts under braking (as the pedal will then come back level with the throttle pedal)

the pics of the pedal i have posted is abit misleading due to the angle
the dimensions are based around an ap racing pedal box.
i'll hopefully make a start on them at the weekend, and i'm keeping my fingers crossedit will work
cheers
