The pedal assembly is now complete. The one item I had trouble with was the clutch shaft (mentioned earlier). I checked with Wolfsburg and they stated that it is out of stock due to they could not find a quality reproduction. I checked with Airhead and they had one which I purchased (shinny cad plated one). Well apparantly Wolfsburg was right. Not only did weld look crappy, the pin hole didn't align up. So I refered back to the "masters" and took the original one to work and had our welder "Weld it shut, the grind smooth". It came out pretty nice.
