Rennline brake and clutch pedal thoughts

Okay first let me say thanks to Jaykay for the rennline pedal set. They arrived okay.
Now as far as the pedals are concerned they are simple and look good on a shelf. But IMHO do not belong on a 986 that is driven let alone near a track.

When I removed the rubber cover from the brake it became apparent when I held the Rennline cover up for fitment that it clearly rocked side to side. This was caused by a pedal that has a vertical high spot running through it as can be seen in the image attached. What this means is that the cover will not lay flat against this pedal. In order to have a level pedal the bolts will actually be loaded from a gap between the cover and pedal. In my opinion the cover should be 100% supported with the screws only holding the cover in position on the pedal and not subject to any force. The problem is any force to the cover has a lever and fulcrum effect that is transferred to the screws and could lead to failure. Because of the horizontal radius in the pedal face it is impossible to bend the cover to lay flat. The options then are to install washers between the cover and pedal or grind off the offending vertical hump in the pedal. Or place on a coffee table for decoration.
