Whew! Its been a rough couple of weeks for me. I got the bracket a couple of weeks ago. Finally got around to installing it after all of the chaos. I tried the method Pathfinder recommended and I was able to install the bracket without removing the console/seats. It is a very very close fit and requires some juggling. But it does work.

My notes are that the bracket is overall very nicely made. This thing could probably work for the clutch on a tank. Don't drop it on your foot!

I did have to take a file and barely hit the mounting hole for the MC. It was a very tight fit. Maybe 5 minutes of work. I also had to take a flap wheel and machine some thickness out of the plate. I couldn't twist the MC into place w/o damaging the FG reinforced mounting tabs of the MC. After hitting it with the flap wheel for about 5 min the MC twisted into place with easy. The bracket fit into the truck well. 0 problems.

Testing begins tomorrow!

I have a MC here I test fit them all with and it fit that one before I sent it out, but maybe my test piece is just getting worn. The fit is very tight for sure, but glad you got everything in and like it!

Atomic, very nice work! Makes me want to go back to my original zf6 conversion! This was my biggest drawback and now looks like a good fix. Thank you!!!

Drove it around today and works like a dream. I might have a 1200 mile road trip coming up so I will let you know how it goes.

Any updates on the testing of this bracket setup?

any chance a steel pedal could accompany this upgraded bracket?

I could probably make a steel pedal, but I never heard of issues with the stock one so I never bothered. It would add a lot of cost to the final product depending how complicated it had to be.
