I am hoping that if I fettle the holes in the pedal box with an inwards bias this packing may be redundant and I may be able to get the new clevis either side of the brake pedal. Peter.

The Sportster pedal box in my car was made at an angle and the clevis is deliberately offset. Like this....
(obviously this was with the metro servo during my build and the pedal box is upside down )

I suspect Mike's Cabrio is the same but maybe earlier Cabrio's had the packing washers like yours.
I suspect you will need to re-use them in the same way.
