Manuals already have the brackets on the firewall and upper area of the pedal.

After it was installed it looked like a clutch pedal

Alright wicked thx man. Now just to find a Prelude Monday and get started.

Was it hard to line that bracket up with the hole on the clutch pedal?

Just put your pedal on exactly how you are going to use it. a la torque it down

Then make marks where everything lines up, then you can tape the bracket in that spot while you use self-tapping screws.

car-part.com may help you find a place with a prelude in your area.

Alright found some about an hour away. My car is undrivable now. I don't want to drive without a clutch again, that was tough. Now I just gotta wait till Monday, the only ****ty thing about the weekends.

So I got the new pedal assembly today finally. I just got the auto wrecker to ship me the part because the closet was so far away. And they didn't take that bracket off for me lol. ANyways, I am just gonna fabricate one or get a shop to fabricate one for me. But I was wondering where exactly does this bracket mount to? Is it like right upside down under the dash?

Is the hole in the upper bracket supposed to line up with the hole that I circled? or does it line up somewhere else.

Yep, that is where

They didn't send you the bracket since it is welded to the chassis. Under the dash you will see part of the trim that is a rectangle and pops out. This is roughly where the bracket goes.

I did that when I did my 5speed swap! almost 2 years and still awesome! Rom also helped me by answering a few questions about the swap when I ran into some small clutch issues. Thanks again.
