I have a project 80. Very much considering swapping in a manual. I'm finding the lc80 clutch pedal assembly, cylinders, et cetera hard to source. Would anyone be able to recommend a possible location to obtain this?

I believe most of this should be obtainable from Toyota. Check with @joekatana. Planning my project for this next year. Would appreciate if you let me know what you find out. I’ve got 1-off info on sourcing parts.

I've tried partsouq, alas shows no availability on lost parts unless my search mojo just sucks. I'll try the other. Wish there was a kit somewhere without 199 parts.
Most of the interior parts are discontinued from Toyota: center console, pedal bucket, etc.
The flywheel/clutch parts specifically for an 80 are still available from Toyota overseas.

You may have to up your search skilz and find the parts you need in foreign junkyards, want-ads, forums, etc.
After searching high and low for quite awhile, i ended up using the bucket from an older (thinking late 80s) Toyota truck. I had to do a few mods to it, mainly attach a small tab to secure it to the factory bolt hole under the dash. I dont know what your fab skills are but i also ended up making one out of 1/8 (maybe thinner) steel plate and i think it is actually better than the other one. If the one i have now craps out i think its actually easier to just custom make one that fits without modifying another one.
I had to custom chop, bend and weld a pedal. Actually used a brake pedal from a ford truck. Any pedal would do, just chop chop. It is really a very simple system, no springs, ajustment points, etc that i think a factory one has but it seems to work fine. I have an NV4500 trans.

Did you use a dodge or Toyota master?
I used a dodge master and slave. The master uses a twist lock to secure it to the firewall. You can buy the receiving side piece from valair for like $20. It has two attaching holes but i welded it to a plate which then sandwiches onto the firewall. I can take a picture.
If you don’t mind. Appreciated.
