I hate to repost but I asked on another topic, "clutch pedal snapped" about removing this as I need to get my pedal box out to weld it back up.

I cant seem to work out how to remove it.

I tried disassembling the height adjuster but this didnt work. There are two bolts that hold in the bracket for the adjuster however they have no heads on them. I'm thinking i might have to drill them out?

They are pictured here:

Help much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Mork, You mean these ones? (below) they loosen part of the metal bit the adjuster bracket is mounted to, I also removed these (pic 2) which are behind the air venting tube behind the clocks, but no luck, the metal bit is still attached to something.

yeah - those are the ones!

I'll look tomorrow on the coupe as that's in bits as to where the others are.
