How to Adjust Clutch Pedal

I have read the instructions in the manual to adjust the clutch pedal & unfortunately I am missing what I would assume are a rubber grommet that sits against the firewall where the clutch pedal goes through.  Am I correct?  What all am I missing?  Where can I get the parts needed?  Finally is there anything I could use in the mean time, suggestions?

    About all the rubber does, is help keep engine heat out of the passenger compartment.

    Without the rubber piece the spring cannot push back against the firewall, as one can see in the photo above, the spring falls into the cab.  So without some sort of rubber pad in place it cannot be Correctly determined if the spacing is being achieved as recommended in the Hudson Procedural Manual.  So I’d say it some more than block heat & air.

    The Omix-Ada 16750.09 work well as draft pads for the brake and clutch.  https://www.amazon.com/Omix-Ada-16750-09-Brake-Pedal-Draft/dp/B000FQ7XNG

    cchancel’s recommendation on the kit available at Amazon looks pretty spot on!  
    Good Suggestions as well, Old Fogey!
