OK, let's check progress. I'm assembling things based on what looks correct but confirming it with you guys seems like a wise move.

Here's a look at the pedal assembly attached to the bracket/MC:

In this picture, some questions: what holds the cylinder (with the zerk fitting) in place? Seems like it could work its way out one side or the other without a pin or clip of some sort. Also, the spacer isn't wide enough, so that the MC pushrod is at an angle relative to the MC. I've got the nylon nut on the other end of that bolt, just not tightened down.

What goes in the hole on the pedal base that you can see facing the rear. I'm guessing a return spring??

And finally, why do I have all these parts left over?? And what am I supposed to do with that odd metal stamped piece?
