Hi I'm not a 100% sure but i think it's there to make bleeding easer, otherwise the pedal sticks down and you have to try and hook your toes under it to lift it back up! (Bled a clutch yesterday and it stuck down and it was a pain)

Thanks Mike, I am really desperate to complete this now after 4 year of waiting.
We also need a aluminium-welding expert to weld these together for us. I'm still not sure what material to use for the clutch pedal, I'm thinking Audi used aluminium for a reason. Although dont some A4's and A6's use a steel pedal?

You can MIG weld ali but you need argon gas and obviously ali wire. TIG will be the way forward for you.

Thanks Dave I may take you up on that offer although I am far away from Oldham (down in Kent). I just need to shape this bracket for the master cylinder and over-centre spring.
Looking at one of the spare pedal boxes I have, looks like I could chop one of those up, as all thats really needed is a angle shape to provide support. I'll keep chopping away and let you know what I come up with. Neil thanks for your suggestion too.
