"The pedal placement I used the pattern simply in the footbox that corresponds to the coyote pedal. In this placement the steering shaft interferes with the apps connection, even with the top mount re-drilled pushed all the way to the inner footbox wall. I’ll have to re-drill both mounting points lower. I also need to review some build threads as I find it really odd I don’t recall coming across this before."

I just watched Randy B's YouTube update video (posted in the forum) and at about 19:23 into the video he talks about this clearance conflict and what he did to correct. Again, like you, I wasn't aware there was a conflict but his solution seems pretty good.
