Looks great!

Small detail but I think the fasteners on the upper ball joints are reversed - the riveted looking part goes in from the top of the ball joint and the retaining nuts on the bottom underneath.

I choose the orientation such that if in a judged event the rivet like bolt is seen from the bottom. Less likely someone sticks or even fits there head in the wheel wheel to see the bolts, nuts and washers.

Default Clutch and Brake Pedal Assembly

The original setup was in sad shape. Someone had broken the clutch bracket right off the pedal which I have seen before. Sourced another complete pedal assembly. Complete tear down, bead blast, phosphate and paint before reassembly. Lucky to have found all the little pieces that are part of the neutral safety switch for 69.
