Clutch job parts question

Hi all…
Getting ready to do my clutch change. Ive purchased the clutch, flywheel, clutch slave and master, rear main (just in case), and the clutch hydraulic pipe. I purchased a Pumaspeed transmission, which has new axle seals. I wanted to change the pedal pin that seemed to be an issue for a few people while I was in there.. Is there an upgraded part for this? Is there any other parts I’m missing?

From the research I've done there is no correction for the clutch pedal spring which binds up for a few people. When mine ended up getting stuck I didn't wanna spend the money on a new pedal assembly and instead removed the spring and placed a light door spring with zip ties to remove the slack. This resulted in a heavier more accurate feeling pedal. You can really feel the clutch bite point and it helps a lot

Edit: just realized after I saw it at AutoZone you could better use a throttle return spring instead of a door spring.

I had read to a lesser extent about the spring issue also. Thanks for the pic, I’ll look at that also while I’m under there.

Just the master…
I believe the pin I’m talking about is where I’m holding the master.
Unfortunately there is no aftermarket pin for the master. Although I've read a few people say that they break I honestly have never had that happen nor can I see it happening and I stomp my pedal a lot. I'd imagine you can probably find a metal rod to replace it but that's gonna be some fab work

The issue with the spring is it is a cam mechanism so when it breaks it'll hold your pedal to the floor as if your slave died. Funny enough the same spring cam mechanism was used on my sim racing clutch pedal and it broke in the same fashion one day in my league race😂
