There should be a pedal stop plate on the floor. It is a small plate with one 
edge bent up and with an oval hole that an 8mm fixing bolt goes down thru. You 
should see a threaded hole (square nut welded to the underside) in the pan 
where this goes. The bent up edge faces to the rear and engages the tabs on the 
bottom of each of the pedals. You loosen the bolt and slide the plate around 
until the brake pedal free play is correct and the 2 pedals are in line.

You've probably got that part somewhere, but you must have taken it off when 
you refinished the pan. If the pedals worked when you got the car, that plate 
was there.
