T5 pedal swap.......missing pieces

OK....time for the pedal swap!!

Automatic pedals are out.  So now that I'm ready to install the stick shift pedals I realize how little I know about the T5 cable workings!!  All the other sticks I worked on were the old mechanical style w/ the pivot ball and rods or Ranger style hydraulic.  The pedal assembly I have is from an early fox'stang and is bare, I mean bare!  So I have no reference to go by for where the quadrant goes or anything else that hooks to the rotating pieces.  My bro-in-law has a T5'stang so I tried to look under the dash of it to see how things worked.....couldn't see squat.

So, can anyone post a schematic or pics of what I need and what the heck goes where.  Or list the pieces I need and a pic of where they go....something, anything!! 

About the only thing I located was where the cable goes through the firewall by the brake booster.  But under the dash I'm lost.  Thanks!!!

If you put on an aluminum quadrant, it's really easy to install. The factory plastic quadrant has some springs that make installation a little more difficult.

That helps!  Is there anything that goes on the clutch pedal side of the set up?  From looking under the T5 mustang I mentioned before, it looks like there is a small box of some sort...maybe a cruise cancellation switch or something similar??
