I think I have the pedal mount ready to go, but I'm a little uneasy about relying on the epoxy. If it fails I suppose the worst that can happen is that I lose the ability to apply throttle, which would suck but I don't think it's a safety threat.
I placed the dremel'd clip portion on the top of the chassis tab loosely, then applied epoxy to the top of it and the area of the mount that will bond to it before marrying them in place. While the epoxy was setting up, I threaded in a bolt to the former throttle stop so that the mount was located correctly. I may not snug that up much further, since it will never be loaded in tension. I then gave the new "assembly" a push down onto the chassis tab to where I was happy with its position.
After getting the picture I actually sat in the driver's seat and rested my foot on the mount to allow it to set up for a few minutes before curing for a day or two.
