Default Stupid question on autovation brake pedal installation

I did search the forum - seems to be 2 different opinions. If the 2 holes go "up", how can I be sure to drill where there is enough clearance behind for the nuts? It seems very tight back there because of the wraparound edges on the existing pedal.

Or if the single hole goes "up", and I use the longer bolt through the slot in the existing pedal, what prevents the washer from slipping through the slot. And how the heck can I get a wrench on the nut?

Default I installed my Autovation brake pedal with the single hole

facing up. I just used a large washer with a small hole (can't remember what it's called) to span the slot. Getting a wrench on the nut was no problem... One other tip - be careful not to tighten the nuts too much, the bolts are aluminum and they break easily if you over torque them.

Default Thanks for the tip (from one Dave to another). Guess I thought if a special part was needed, it

would be included. Oh well, there's an OSH nearby.
