Well, today was the day. I have to say, it went better than expected. Seat out, heater moved to the passenger footwell. I did not need to remove the steering column as I had sufficient room. The old clutch pedal had a 10mm bolt through it, which was easily undone. Getting the pedal out was a bit of a struggle with the spring, a fair bit of brute force. New pedal has been beautifully made by Nippy Cars, with the correct square pedal for older cars.
Fitment into the pedal box was a pain, especially as after struggling to get it all lined up and the pivot bolt pushed through, I found out that if the clutch pedal is held up to the dash, the heel will not pass the bulkhead! So out with the pivot, lower the pedal and redo. Fitting the clevis pin was not too bad, helped by the holding tool. A 'R' clip was fitted in place of the split pin.
I've got plenty of scratches and cuts, mainly from trying to undo the master cylinder bolts on cables and jubilee clips. Pleased it's done, no wear on the pedal now, so the clutch feels better. Thank you for all the advice.
I had am 'R' clip fall out on a drive (luckily the clutch) I'd advise you to fit the split pin.

Fair point - I debated it for a while but was conviced for the clutch. Brakes would be a different matter.
