I'm an idiot, what the hell do I do with this? Options

Guys, I was vaccuming my pedal area so I removed the wooden board. I forgot to take a pic beforehand so I need you guys to show me the correct placement for the metal doohickey behind the clutch hole.

Is this correct, or should the black thing be behind the board?

I supposed they intended it to be adjustable up and down? Hmm. Why? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

because no two clutches are the same (wear, resurfaced etc etc). once the clutch arm is all the way in (disengaging the clutch) moving the pedal further down will only stretch the cable but not move the clutch arm any further (cause it can't go anywhere once it's all the way in) ...

so what you do is, you pull down the clutch pedal (by hand) and have a buddy check the clutch arm in the rear.
once the arm hits it's max. movement you adjust the stop so you can't move the pedal any further down ...

same with the throttle stop behind the gas pedal. have a buddy move the throttle body on the engine to WOT and hold it there. then you move down the accel. pedal until you feel the cable to be tight. then adjust the gas-pedal-stop so you can't move the gaspedal any further down ...

doing this will greatly prolong the life of your cables and save you the major headache of rewelding your clutch tube ...
