Dave,
You have welding skills and did a nice repair to your problem.
There's another solution since you can weld-if you want a little project.
ERA's pedal has an arm at the top and their linkage is a bell crank which runs from the foot box to a bracket bolted to the intake. I have always been a fan of heim joints and solid rod linkage. Very easy to do so after you fab the bell crank. I don't think Bob could sell you the parts but you surely can make them.
Heims really give you a solid, no play pedal with complete no-bind smoothness. And no curved cable going over the headers.
If you're interested, I can snap some better shots for you or maybe Patrick has some-he took shots of every molecule in the car...
