So I recently brought some parts used for my 5 speed swap that I plan on doing next year. I brought a clutch pedal, shifter base and brake pedal but I'm missing some things from the clutch pedal my friend told me today but he hasn't been precise what they are on the clutch pedal ? i have no idea since I'm automatic

I read also their are 4 mounting bolts for the clutch pedal. I only got three bolts. Two small ones in a zip lock bag & the back of the mounting bracket their is one big one stuck on the back of the bracket. I'm not sure will this affect the mounting of the pedal ?

The big question is what else am I missing from the clutch pedal. I know their is another switch but not sure what it is called the two I know that connects to the clutch pedal from what I read is 1.) interlock '' clutch safety switch''. ) 2.) Clutch pedal position switch. I only have one connect to the pedal and not sure what it is called here is a few pictures of the clutch pedal with the one sensor attach to it.please can anyone that knows what I'm missing from the pedal help me. I really don't want to have to go back and have a hard time looking for the small pieces just to finish my swap

The clutch interlock safety switch is what is on the pedal you have. It prevents the car from starting unless you have the clutch depressed. the other switch is a pedal position switch which deactivates the cruise control if you depress the pedal. (so you only need it if you have cruise control) you are missing one long bolt which is the same length the stud you see on the bracket (the stuck bolt) it screws into the master cylinder from the back side (bracket side)

So the only thing I'm missing is just the long stud / bolt ? Seems like their something else but if that's it then ok .will it still bolt up and work properly with that missing stud ?
 
No it is a bolt hat you are missing, it needs to be the same length as the stud on the bracket with the same thread pitch, get it from a hardware store. it will bolt through the pedal bracket & firewall from the backside and thread right into the clutch master cylinder itself. also you need the pin that goes through the pedal arm and master cylinder pushrod. (I don see one in the pics) when you get a new clutch master cylinder (you are getting a new master cylinder right?) you can fit it to the bracket and see exactly how it all goes.

I know you wrote this a while back, but his excellent summary kept me from getting the wrong switch. Thanks. In case anyone else needs info, I attached a parts diagram.
