I slowly started modifying the pedal box. I cut the brake pedal spring mount.
This will have to be welded on the opposite side and I will have to get a mirror image spring made.

The A3 over-centre clutch pedal spring now has room to move.
Next step is to mock up a plastic clutch pedal, and a mount for the master cylinder and over-centre spring, and test how the whole set up works.

Does anyone know what the purpose of the really weak brake pedal spring is?
Its too weak to hold the brake pedal up on its own, I just cant think why they put it there. The only other thing I can think of is that its purpose is to keep the brake booster piston ball joint lined up straight?
