Bit of an update, been working on the pedal. A few things to consider, achieving OEM pedal position is key whilst still ensuring full stroke of the CMC. Clearing the steering column is another one... Definitely useful having an ED as my daily for an easy reference point
OEM pedal
marking centre line of stock hole position before cutting
using masking tape to ensure a straight edge
post cutting
new mounting plate cut from 2mm plate
Holes drilled and position marked
dummied
mounting plate and small gussets ready to weld after cleaning weld areas
and ready to go. When welding flat plate it helps to use some form of heat sink (aluminium) to draw the heat out of the material and reduce distortion

Managed to finish off most of the pedal detail yesterday, just need to paint the pedal box and the pedal too.
The final support section. I've added this piece as I had to chop the top of the pedal box off. All honda hydro clutch pedals I've come across always have an additional bolt running through the top of the pedal box into the chassis to help support the pedal. This is where this side support comes in, helps reduce the pedal box flexing and also distributes the force against the firewall more evenly.
Modified brake pedal box, you can see where I've trimmed the side as well as the pivot point for the original cable pedal. You can also see the stud which the new pedal makes use of.
Bolted up
The original dream to use the stock standard clutch pedal came to an end with still keeping OEM pedal position, basically it was impossible to mount the pedal assembly close enough to the brake pedal in its stock form.
I had a spare EG brake pedal lying about so it become the donor pedal, it also has a nice meaty 8mm material thickness to weld together
The nub ready to be tacked in place
Clamping everything in position. Want the pedal to sit flat and straight with the brake pedal
All welded up
End result pics to come using my hatch as a comparison just gotta take some pics in daylight
