Bob,

Regarding your question...  *<"Does your clutch pedal hit the pipe at full
extension?'>*

Absolutely not, the ones like mine (original and NOS) have a larger
sweeping curve and don't foul the clutch pedal.  It's the aftermarket ones
with the tighter bend that are a pain in the butt, and hit the clutch when
depressed.
