So, you found the clutch then?
That's good.
invest in a good torque wrench, you'll need one eventually... like now.
As for the tool, nope.

"Drill a 38mm hole for the clutch pedal".........."clutch hole"

never looked at a manual FTO, but perhaps the clutch master cylinder is the term we are looking for?
again, unsure of FTOs, but my Magna had an outline where the hole was to be drilled, along with the 2 studs protruding from the firewall and simply needing nuts to secure.
