When fitting brake pedals you should trial fit them with the dash frame (metal hoop part with colomn and pedal pivots) out of the car.
I was fitting mine today and found that the clutch pedal is fouling on the L/H side as the pivot mount (flat plate) is not welded right at the edge of the square 1 inch tubing so the pedal fouls at its pivot.
I have had to grind the pivot mounts of for the clutch and reweld them on about 1/2 a mm to the right so it clears.

It is hard to describe so go out into the shed and take a look.
