Finally got some time to drill through my firewall and installed the clutch master cyl, clutch pedal assembly and the brake pedal, took me a few hours but I'm very happy that I'm this much closer to the manual swap
Love the 3 pedals more anyway and posting pics!!!
Who doesn't ?

You'll need 3/16 steel rods 1.5" wide just like you see them in pics.
I measured them at about 18 long and cut them( make sure you measure yours)
Then I simply put the ends in the vice and bend them with the hammer to make tabs for bolt holes.
After I had 2 of the same rods bent on both sides, for the I squared them up using 2 more cross rods rods to make a square with tabs
I measured 2.5 inches from the front of the tab that you just bent to the front rod and weld.
Once I got everything measured and tac welded it all in place it was a matter of walking between welder and the car measuring chopping bending and measuring again.
And in the very end I just mocked it up and drilled holes
After that you'll need to weld a tab on the bottom of the square frame for the bolts that are close to trany tunnel
I hope that helped a little, took me about 4 hours for both brackets, I'm a rookie

Guys, I decided to actually start up my car today. I have to tell you, it actually put a smile on my face. I bought a battery a few weeks ago and let it sit in my garage until I was ready to fix my car. Well, my wife has been on my case lately about getting my car out of it's current parking spot. So, I put the new battery in...and it cranked right up! Even with the major misfire, seized calipers, rusted crossmember, whining powersteering pump, leaking rack and pinion, and a bald rear tire, the car actually made me smile. It has a dead inspection sticker from March but I still drove it up and down the street for the hell of it. Man, I really miss this car and look forward to at least fixing it for the next owner. I was surprised that it started right away after sitting for months and months.

I finally got around to test fitting a set of 19" g35 forged rays I bought couple of months ago. I was really pleased with the look. Rears are near perfect, just need to drop about an inch and are almost flush. However font needs to be dropped more than inch and could use a set of spacers.
