Lightweight pedals
I thought I'd just show a picture! Will need some brackets but not a huge problem in the scale of things - should save a couple of grammes -
they're very light!

Nice work Wyn. We went a different route to lightness and machined them from billet.

Machining from billet is only for the lucky few.

Geoff - very nice! A little bit more expensive than my second hand single seater ones I think!

Hi
Please don't take this the wrong way but I'd be reluctant to use a brake pedal fabricated from aluminium alloy sheet, (I take it thats
what it is). Unless its quite thick it could distort / shear under heavy load and I would also be concerned over the effects of heat at all of the
welded joints.
The above based on my experience in the aircraft industry where brake and control loadings are considerably less yet the norm is to employ some form
of steel in these applications, also Lotus Elise pedals would appear to be 'meatier' than yours.
Accelerator and clutch no problems 
Regards Mick
