Question
Can pedals mount to the FB front bulkhead?
Answer
No. The expectation is 25mm of FBHS tubing before the start of the pedal mount structure.
A cross tube with a 25mm gap to the FB is acceptable.

The intent is to allow 25mm of deflection in any front impact structure before creating a load path to the driver.
A 25mm air gap is required from the pedal assembly, including mounts, to the front bulkhead and AIP.

This is with the pedals at full travel.
Maximum braking is a reasonable assumption in a front impact.

Pedal mounts on the Front Bulkhead would start to move the driver's feet in the first mm of Front Bulkhead deflection.
