Well I am on the road for a couple of nights for work, but I will try to when I get back home.

It wasn't hard. I removed the gas pedal and trim that would allow me to get some access to the backside of the carpet, of which I was able to fold back enough to see what exactly was between the clutch pedal and the firewall. All that is there is the carpet and some sound deadner.

I took two hockey pucks and screwed them together, and then using some 3M VHB double sided tape, stuck them to the firewall. This is very high end tape, it will not come loose (this is the stuff they use to hold siding onto trailers).

I then pulled off the rubber cover off of the clutch pedal and drilled & countersunk a hole for a 5/16 screw. Then using a FHCS, I bolted on to the back side of the pedal coupling nut.

I had determined that the distance I was shooting for from the tip of the pedal to my stop was about 3", so I cut a "elevator bolt" (a long threaded bolt with a large head) that would let me set it at 3" with about 1/2" of travel each way.

Once all installed the head of the elevator bolt squeezes the carpet between the bolt and the hockey pucks, at this point my clutch pedal position reads 39.5-40%.

Then using HP tuners I was able to get the Clutch Pedal Relearn procedure completed and everything works as normal (the car starts with the pedal to the stop, but only if the pedal is pushed in).

All said and done, I move the pedal about 1/4" off of the stop and the clutch starts to engage, it has made all the difference in my launches.
