Hi Everyone - I am very grateful for this community and find myself in need of your expertise. I am fortunate to own a 1969 2800CS, that the a former owner had re-powered with a S50 3.0L from a 1995 E36 M3. However, at that time he converted it to an automatic transmission (he liked the style of the car, but didn't know how to drive a manual transmission). So, I find myself in the midst of re-swapping the car back to a manual transmission. I gather from previous threads that the pedal box is the same, but that I need to procure the parts I have circled below inclusive of the clutch pedal, pivot pin, and return spring, etc. For the life of me I cannot find part numbers. I would be thankful for any help or advice you may have - and if by some miracle you have those parts I would be happy to purchase them. Thank you!

Note that the original brake pedal on automatic transmission cars is wider than on manual cars, needs to be verified.
If you don't find these parts at home I might find them for you.
Wish you a merry Christmas

I am also in the process of obtaining parts for a manual conversion.
I use real oem to help identify parts needed and part numbers.
I have attached a link below with the part numbers for the diagram you provided.
Unfortunately some of the parts are no longer available.
Forum members may help with procurement of parts.
TomHom is an absolute gentleman and has helped source several parts for me that are no longer available.
