Default LS3 Conversion in to a 72

Does anyone know if there is a supplier making a mounting bracket for the accelerator pedal that is supplied with the LS3 crate motor & harness ?
I have been googled out with no luck
Looks like everyone is making their own brackets ???
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I wish I could say it was done but it got stalled due to life circumstances. It's running and moving under its own power but not roadworthy yet.

Made a plate for mine as well. Had to bend the pedal a little as well. I would have swore I recently saw someone do it just a little differently but can't find the post.

Same here. Made my own plate and bolted to the firewall; also bent a little, but keep room for the carpet and insulation against the tunnel.

Very easy to make a plate, that is what most of us have done. I have not seen a supplier offer this as of yet.
