Check out S&P's site, they have it in their catalog. www.hotrodlane.cc and go to the "Installing a LS1 in a '69 Camaro" tab.

I think they changed their catalog. Here's the old catalog page with the drawing of the clutch bracket.

the problem with this pattern is that it only gives you the deminsions for the holes for the master cylinders which you should already have if you have the parts which go in these holes, but it does not give you the distance needed between the master cylinders and a location to make the bend. if nobody has ever biult there own I guess I will have to be the trial and error guy. But once I get it made I will post it for all those who need it.

I have the same problems as you, that the drawing is lacking many important measurements, i have made my bracket now, i measured the bolt pattern on the torpedowall/brakebooster, and the bolt distance on the hyd pump itself, then i printed out the insufficient drawing in the same scale as mye bolt patterns, and i cut the bracket out by marking around the paper, the hydpump is mountet on the firewall now, but i havent checked how it matches with the 1998 Camaro clutch pedal im gonna use, if it sticks through in the right position ill make a better drawing of the bracket i made, and post it here.

I created a CAD drawing from a pattern that Budman sent me but I had to modify it because he had power brakes and I do not. (This is the power brake version.) Start off with a cardboard template of this and go from there.

As with anything, it will probably need some "massaging" to get it to line up right, but it's a start.

Thanks for the start Scooter I like to biuld these type things myself rather than buy them, It just gives me a little mo pride when the job is done. But it is a good deal when guys can share knowledge.

I just bought my bracket from SnP 2 weeks ago - came in chrome and looks nice
I could have fabbed my own but the one I bought looks nicer than what I could have made
They say it fits power and manual brakes - I have manual so I really wasn't concerned
I don't see how it could work with power brakes unless you had a small booster

I also have the bracket needed to bolt the clutch master cylinder to the firewall for $75 using the stock hole. I also made one to use the 1998-2002 LS1 brake booster, and brake master cylinder. You use one of the old holes on the firewall and the top of the rod opening to line it up. Then tack it in. It's made from 3/16" Then you can have late model brake booster, master cylinder, the ls1 clutch bracket, and add our LS1 front brake kit to your 67/69 car. Then you will have a super nice brake LS1 12' twin piston system for less than $525 for eveything.

Thanks Scott

If anyone wants the correct version, My company owns the rights to this bracket. We purchased the rights from General Motors back in 2001, and have the correct spacing, material and bend for all actuators from 1993-2002.
If S&P is selling them again, I'll have to send them another notice to cease.

I just ordered mine from Tyler. Can't wait for the parts to come in. S&P gave me a phone # of someone to call to have one made back in Oct. when I was up there. It might have been Tyler, not sure.

Also, if you are making your own bracket, you don't need to weld a tab to the pedal if you don't want. Another alternative I took was to cut the eyelet off of the master plunger and threaded it 1/4" and bought a heim joint at the hardware store and it works perfect, bolts to the original hole and the best part is the travel is now adjustable and you dont have to notch the pedal support.

Or you could just but the kit that does it all for you, including the adjustable master pushrod:
