Ha Ha yeah shouldnt be to much trouble,get yourself some 2mm stainless sheet and bend up a new tip and use a bolt to fasten it to the pedal.

I didn’t say weld steel on the end, I said metal That said I’d be impressed if you are geared up to weld alloy at home.

It’s just buy another one, it’s worth less than how many hours of my time faaarking around to try and fix it :p
