How did you install the parking break pedal, does the original rubber one clip off so you can clip on the metal one?
The parking brake pedal was tricky. I saw one member who cut out the center rubber **** and then drilled a hole into it. He then attached a nut and bolt to it. I tried this method and it didn't work for me.
I ended up cutting out the inner edges of the new pedal and used gorilla clue to attach it to the original rubber pedal, and this has held up well.

Is there a thread with that bolt on work around?, gorilla tape did not work out.

Don't use tape to attache it, try using super glue. That's what I did, and it's been fine. The bolt work around was in a member's build thread. I'm sorry, I don't remember who.

That would require a two part epoxy to hold well.

I only used super glue to attache the 2 pedals together. You can try the screw method if you like.

I ended up just gluing the dead foot rest with construction adhesive, it's going nowhere. For the parking break I removed the existing rubber cover and bolted on the f sport pedal and used a little of the construction adhesive to prevent it from twisting around.
