Still working on the dash. I have everything removed except the shell. Been sanding down what I can reach. It's a pain but it'll be worth it.
I got a few little parts in, here's a shot of the super nice billet pedal from Lokar:

I also picked up my brake pedal from the powedercoater today. Looks almost like a new factory pedal! The pedal support also has the MustangSteve roller bearings on it.

I also suggest dimpling the splined shaft with a drill to give the set screw something to nest into. It's also not a bad idea to use a slightly longer set screw when you do this. To keep going, as long as you are at the stage of your build you are...the firewall would benefit from a bit of reinforcement in the mounting area too. Not such a big deal with the Lokar throttle but certainly with something like the MDL clutch pedal set-up. It amazed me how much flex there was across the whole area under the dash.Just a note on the Lokar throttle pedal, once you get it adjusted the way you want make sure you loctite the crap out of the set screw. Nothing like driving along and having the pedal fall to the floor.
Those are very impressive numbers Darreld, congrats. I bet the car is a blast to drive.
I'll look into reinforcing the pedal area, Terry. I believe MTF sells a plate for this, I don't know if this will help much:

This is just for the brake master cylinder.
Or, something like this! http://haneperformance.com/Firewall-Brace.html
Are you running this Mark? I read about these somewhere, didn't know they were readily available. Might have to try one.
