I have enough material on hand to make 3-4 more, but they are meant for the stock masters. If someone can tell me the mounting pattern of whatever aftermarket master they want to use I am sure I could make something work. What do most people use when they do this?

so it would work with a stock master and stock clutch pedal switch?

Correct, the one I sent to PathfinderJr uses the stock pedal and master cylinder.

Yes, I have enough material on hand right now to make 3 or 4 more. More material after that will take a couple weeks. They will be $300 shipped and include that pivot bolt as well (5" 9/16" grade 8 with nylon lock nut). I am just waiting on on Pathfinder to confirm everything fits and send me some installed pics.

Alrighty, guys. I've got great news!!

So I got the bracket installed in the truck. It went in without a problem. Smooth as glass. The master cylinder fits in it tight as hell, too, so I have no doubts in my mind that this is going to be rock solid and solve the issue of the bracket breaking. Trouble is I goofed up how the pedal mounts to the bracket. In my excitement I forgot to install the plastic centering collars that were on the OEM pedal and bracket.

Sooo.. that's where we are now. I'm in the process of trying to install the collars without having to uninstall the pedal bracket, but I might just have to take it all out to do so. In any case, I'm trying to make time to get this done by Christmas so we can all have a bit of good news for the new year for our trucks. I'm also trying to take some good pics along the way to document the pedal swap process along with how the new bracket fits under the dash.

So stay tuned!
