Nice to see someone else using the mx5 pedals, I was feeling all alone!
I didn't do too much to the accelerator pedal. I maybe shortened the length inside the car as it may of been a bit long.

What I did if I can remember as it was well over 12 months ago. I cut out the part of the engine bay from the donor that all the pedals mount to and then I chopped the clutch mounting from the the rest and moved it over closer to the brake, so much so that the nut for mounting the clutch cylinder on that side is inaccessible without removing the brake servo first. This means you can keep the accelerator as it is and you just need to bend and adjust the pedals to suit your feet. I did away with the clutch pedal stop and used a piece of 4mm plate welded to the tunnel tube. Hope that helps.

Sounds like it will be good and strong I'm using ali just for the removable top access cover.
