True007,

My bolt cleared no problem, it should clear yours as well, it will angle up as soon as it comes out of the clutch pedal side.
To access the nut, you need to remove the side vent, it is held in by the Powered By Ford badge and one bolt in the foot-well.
I hope your engine is not installed yet, this may make it tough to reach under to get the badge off. The nut is a small one 17/64" I think (or metric), and I didn't have a deep well socket that size to reach over the threads. Once you break the nut loose, you can finish removing it by hand.
If your engine is in, maybe you should try getting your hands on the pedal bender that the FFR guys use.
