It's still up on the jacks. I put that piece back on, aligned the pedals up properly, made sure it was all working properly, but didn't bother tightening the set-screw yet. My allen wrenches were a good ten steps away and I got dehydrated waiting for the flatbed in today's 95 degree heat. I'll tighten it up with blue LocTite tomorrow unless Bob P. chimes in with a reason not to.

You could have driven it all the way home without the pedal.Just synchronize the revs and the box slips into gear no problem. You should practice shifting without the clutch once you have fixed the car. I have driven in traffic like that more than once .

Yeah, I know. And for a fleeting moment I considered it... then I called the flatbed.

Easy to get to; one set screw. I'm going to come up with something a little extra though that will hold it. It doesn't have to be much to hold it on. I safety wire everything, but I don't see a way to safety wire this.
Patrickt Pat you can drill and bolt head and safety wire tie it off. I surprised at you not being able to drive home with out a clutch pedal. All those years of driving, gone to waste. Well this will give you something to do in the future. Rick L. ps my CJ% came with a clutch cable for the stock 10.5 clutch. I had to go to a 11.0" and would brak a cable every 2 months. I drove to Pittsburg and back with out. Thank god I had a goos starter for the tolls and gas stops. almost 800 miles.
