[V8Vairs] Clutch pedal setup for V8 Corvair-suggestions needed

[Bill & Dana]

Hi all.....I have a 1967 500 with a SBC, Crown type set-up, 3 speed manual shift, hydraulic clutch with the master cylinder mounted inside the trunk. A couple days ago the clutch pedal went to the floor and stayed there. During a brief inspection I discovered that a weld cracked on the horizontal pedal shaft, allowing the actuating rod to the clutch master cylinder to drop free. I'm not sure yet, but it looks like whoever built the car may have rigged up a stock clutch pedal setup to work on the car. It looks like the problems I've had shifting may be from the setup being off center approx.. 1/2 inch, binding and eventually breaking.
My question is, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on a clutch pedal setup, specifically how to get the master cylinder actuated? I'm not a fabricator by any means, but would like to do it if possible. Does anyone make a setup for this ?
By the way......these cars are FUN to take to cruises !!! Took mine for the 1st time the other day and man what a response it got...It is nice, but by no means a show car.
Thanks for any help
