I installed my pedals today, from a 96 Z28. Whata complete pain it was. I spent a good hour trying to line up the bolts for the master cylinder and the clutch cylinder. Finally I just ripped the pedals out and noticed that one bolt hole(the one I couldnt get lined up right) was much smaller than the others. I drilled that baby out and the pedals popped right on. Is this common? The hole was not big enough to fit on my stud. Anyways, maybe it will save some one else a headache, trial fit your pedals to the master cylinder. I havent seen this problem listed on any of the T56 swap howto's, maybe some one can add it.

Coulda saved yourself a lot of hassle by buying pedals from a third gen with a T5. I spent probably 30 minutes total on my pedals.

If you've gotta fix it, fix it better than stock.

 

The thirdgen pedals are pretty much exactly the same as the fourth gen's except the accelerator pedal is attached. I got a set out of a 94 and just cut the accelerator off. The top (fifth) bolt was just barley misaligned too. All pedal sets are within tolerance though.

LOCK: I had the EXACT same problem too. I just drilled it out a little so it would go on easier just like you did.

Same as Birmass. I don't remember clearancing any of the holes, but may have.
