It's a reverse mount setup. You can read more about it HERE.

I live in Thailand and machine work is very cheap here. While perhaps not the cheapest in Thailand, I know an American with a CNC machine shop about 50 km form here. China might be marginally cheaper, however there is the IP question, and margin for the middleman.

If there is group interest in producing a small run of parts, I am willing to coordinate it. I am retired and do not need to make my living on things like this and will do it simply for the benefit of the group at cost.

This is a scan of the printout of the original scan of the part. Unfortunately, the original scan was lost when the computer crashed, but at least I had made one printout.

It should be close to 1:1, but if it needs to be sized, keep the aspect ratio and make the width of bottom part of the pedal 4".

Thanks for the scan volkdent.

I cut this out in card board and overlaid it on my stock pedal. Looks to accommodate a 12 wide quite nicely.

Thanks again.

I think anything you had to actually make from scratch is a home-made part, from a custom wire holder to a carbon fiber dash!
