PV8, thanks. The carpet fix is a good one. Was thinking along those lines but didn't think it would blend in as well. Maybe making the new hole exact size as old and using that plug to patch would work after all.

There is an adjustable (for now) rod going straight back from the center of arm at bolt. Milled out a spot for it in the arm back. Connects to the long lever which is just to left of that center brace. Current height would be at a good spot for locating a piece which would insert in back of arm to use the original 56 pedal. Maybe not good for older. If fading memory serves, those come down other side of steering column and make a bend. If so, would need something to enable rod either being on left of column or maybe lower. Can't quite remember the arrangement which is why the request for a picture.

The standard trans picture is not quite detailed enough. Was trying to get the distance the clutch pedal arm is from the left side of opening in floor. Was thinking maybe I could stop the mount at the center, keep all the shaft & levers mostly over on the booster side. Maybe make a triangular mount to attach to the floor on the bottom and right side & some kind of removable support across the top which would keep the clutch area free. If the clutch arm comes over very far or high, then that wouldn't work either so wouldn't waste the time.

EDIT to Craig. Pretty much except the long is on the left of center brace and is straight. Rod goes straight back from pedal arm. Short levers are the two heim joints connected to plate across the booster rod.
