No long threaded nut to connect the two and use for fine adjustment. And the bolt to hold the clevis joint to the pedal arm is probably 1/2" too short, with no spacers to make things line up.

So I guess I have to go to Princess Auto to get a male clevis joint, and bunch of grade 8 bolts to see if I can make it work.

Looks like they sent you the wrong stuff. Did they offer to make it right?

I just used one and the instructions weren't the best, but sufficed. I had to space the clevis a bit, but all in all, what they sent me bolted on easily and has worked well so far. Much easier than fabricating all that stuff. Price wasn't bad either.

I made the hole big enough to work through..
