Here's the key to my 15 min job - take off the lower dash tray. Remove the 10mm nuts up top, the 8mm nuts below and the caged bolts. Remove that shelf.
Move the seat all the way back.
That gives you all the room you need. No contortions necessary.
Pre-set the stop to about 1cm first. It's a good starting point.
Take the 13mm bolts off the plate first, then carefully unclip the rod. You want to be careful not to push it back down or I can see you have a problem getting the bolts back on.
But I'm serious this took me probably 15 minutes tops. Helps that I already had the lower shelf off and the seat back in my case.

I had the stop out almost all the way and it was good. Just tighten up the lock nut with a ratcheting box wrench and done.

Whoops, I owe you guys an apology...
I forgot about the tray! I deleted that years ago to get more room, I got size 14 feet and they were hitting the tray from behind when I shifted.

I test fitted my new clutch stop. I try to keep the clutch MC in place by replacing the bolts with pieces of 8 mm treaded ends so I can slide the clutch stop over it. I will replace these threaded ends one by one with the original bolts while the other side is tightened with a nut. Just to keep the MC in place. But I ran into a problem that I don't understand. The pedal is not hitting the stop. Or in other words: the stop is on the side of the pedal. What is wrong here?

It was discovered only recently that the PKlutch does not fit 78-80, unfortunately. The clutch pedal arm was changed in '81 for some reason.
If you can measure the offset, center to center, I may be able to make a special version.

I became very aware of clutch pedal travel when I was adjusting the Sparco seat in the '88 (no sliders). Although I liked the overall seating position (legs to pedals, arms to steering wheel) the clutch pedal travel to the floor made me take pause.
This sounds like a really good tweak to eliminate full leg extension of the clutch pedal. Also seems like it might help to provide slightly faster shifts. Anyone tried this in a track/DE car?
