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

[Ed Dowds]

Bill-
I believe your setup mounts the clutch master toward the center of the car. 
If so it probably uses the arm, that usually works the stock clutch cable, to activate the master cyl rod. 
I had that setup on my old V8 car. 
You can have the arm rewelded to the horizontal shaft and reinforced with a piece of strap around the 
horizontal shaft and the arm.
On my current V6 car I moved the clutch master to the side of the brake master and 
bolted a plate on the side of the clutch pedal arm to link to the clevis for the clutch master.
I think that will work better. I had to do some metal work on the mounting for the clutch master. 
I made a reinforcing plate to go on the interior side and made that so it would bolt to 
the lower dash bracket.

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. > 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 ?> Bill Young
