I moved my to the firewall. I used the kit from CPP. One thing Idid. I measured as the instructions said, but then wanted to double check, so I mounted the pedal bracket on the inside to the dash and positioned the pedal where I wanted it and then marked from the inside. And drilled/cut my hole. I did have my steering column out at the time.
I figured this was a more precise fit, and it was off a bit from where I measured.
either way, it went well and like the fit.

Used a Superduty hydroboost and an OBS brake pedal assembly inside on my '53 COE. Once I get the seats in and I am happy with the position of the steering wheel I'll fix the floor. I sandwiched a 1/8" plate between the booster and the pedals to strengthen the firewall. It will have braces welded to it to triangulate it and it should be plenty strong.
