I made this sub-plate (again out of aluminum) to attach the trim
plate to and it has two 10-32 threads (blue area). The sub-plate is
screwed to the toe board using riv-nuts which is under the carpet. If
you look close you can see the brake pedal to the right and the shinny
stuff is insulation.

This should give you a better idea of how the outer trim
piece will be attached to the sub-plate. I had all kinds of trouble
installing this because I worked around the pedals and carpet. Plus my
riv-nut gun couldn't get into this tight area without it binding and
when I squeezed the trigger, it ended up breaking the 8-32 threaded rod.
It took me a long time to get that removed so I moved up to the 10-32
size after that to which I had even more trouble. Let's just say it
wasn't a good day.

Here is what it looks like with the trim piece installed. I had to cut
the rubber a couple of times because it was binding against the clutch
pedal but it seems to work good now. If you were wondering why I didn't
space the screws evenly it's because the upper one is right against the
top of the opening in the toe board where the cutout is. If I were to
place it any higher, I would have had to remove the pedals again and I
didn't really want to do that. I need to think about what to do for
pedal pads here next.

This new fitting is for my oil pressure line which had broken while
taking it out months ago. It fits a 1/4" diameter plastic line which is
larger than normal because most mechanical oil pressure gages use 1/8"
diameter. The reason for the larger line is because it's much more
sensitive and will give you a quicker reading. On the other hand it can
be scary to see exactly what your oil pressure is really doing.

Here is the new fitting and line reattached. I'm not sure if I like how
it's bent now because I had a 90 degree fitting that went into the
engine block before. The reason I don't have the other fitting anymore
is because it would hit the scatter shield and backing plate so this is
a work around. I may have to make a different fitting or something
because I'm not sure how this will hold up.

Here are the finished brake and clutch lines in place. I still have to
bleed the brakes but the master has had the bench treatment already. If
things go as good as the clutch went, the brakes shouldn't be a problem
but refilling the master cylinder will be a challenge.
