Hi,
I see a very small area to the right of the booster. I do not see any indentations where to drill. I have the car jacked up in my shop. I will be working on it all day. Auto trans is ready to come out. I will check the thread later. Time to get greasy. Thanks. Joe Flash |

You can sort of see it here too, above the main harness. Ignore the red circle.

Hi,
Thanks for the photos. I drilled the holes for the clutch cylinder, but I am having a real problem mounting the brake pedal and the clutch. The bracket I got with the brake assembly mounts to the firewall/booster but the front mounting points are at a 45 degree angle. My auto brake bracket has two vertical mounting holes to the crossbeam. So I had to use my auto brake mounting bracket and cut a little off the top of the brake pedal bar so the hole would line up with the pedal mounting bolt. Here is a picture of the manual brake bracket that I could not use. Brake pedal is mounted. Now for the clutch. The angled bracket will not line up very well with the aluminum firewall crossbeam. I am trying to mount it to the top of the crossbeam but it will not go flush to the firewall. Is it possible that Chevrolet used two different aluminum firewall cross beams on manual an automatic Corvettes? Here is a picture of the clutch assembly that I have been trying to mount for two hours. I gave up tonight. Had to walk away before I took an axe to the car.Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Figured it out. The used corvette parts place sent me the wrong pedals. They are for a 90 and up corvette. The clutch assemblies look very similar. The brake is definately wrong. You know, I depend on Corvette parts suppliers to know what they are doing and this is what happens. Well, I am sorry to trouble you guys with this problem. Joe Flash |

I was about to ask. The 90 interior changed everything.
