Everything is really tight and cramped so these are the best pics/angles I can get of the pieces for the foot clutch setup. With the exception of the cable stop, it is all made/can be made from the right side brake pieces. The piece for the frame where the pedal pivots is from the right side support of an old frame. People who hardtail usually toss their side supports and will be glad to give them to you. The pedal is a brake pedal cut and flipped. The pivot itself is a stock pivot that is cut and my own piece of steel is shaped and welded on. However, a stock pivot can be made to work also if you have one from a drum brake bike. This one was from a disc brake bike, so it is a little different and works better modified. The exposed cable end is the stock piece that goes on the pedal pivot of a disc brake bike - a nut is welded to the end to keep the cable from pulling all the way through. The end of the cable inside the case is cut off, then the cable and housing are shortened. A replacement cable end from Mikesxs is soldered on. The little cable guide on the back of the frame is a cable guide that was removed from the front downtube. That's the basic idea. There are some other little tricks to get it to work, but that's the idea in a nutshell.
