Can you pul it out and put it in a vice cut the pedal then add an inch or 2 onto it and then weld it back together? Thus making like a 90 in it as soon as it comes from the mounting point and then back straight out?

maybe, i think what i will have to do is bend it or cut it and weld it back at a 90 under the black box and over the speaker.....i dont know if i want to spend that much time on a dang e-brake though....

yea, it just suks not being able to use it. I hate that awful clang when u take it outa gear under load, sucks
