Looks factory fit. I agree with the no bump steer comments. 5 threads is probably OK unless you start doing adjustments and then it might get a bit scary knowing you don't have much to play with so yea I agree shop around for a longer tie rod from another model.

VT auto pedal box on the way, $37 delivered that will sort the last of the brake parts needed, other than making lines .... but that's going to wait till at least after I work out the firewall lol.

Pretty much just need to secure the front off the pedal box to the dash and slightly bend the pedal then sorted!

Fixed up the accelerator location, there was a hole in the firewall I just drilled a bit bigger and the accelerator cable fits perfectly!

I want to move the brake pedal over closer to the steering column, but otherwise they are located well! ... although having said that I don't have a seat in the car to be 100% sure yet!

Does the brake pedal foul on the steering column when depressed?

nope, you can't see it from that angle, but the pedal is like 2 inchs from the column on the pad part of it ..... also at the moment it doesn't go down at all ad the lines are all crimped, I just want to get it over a bit to have more room between the brake and the accelerator
