DBW Pedal. How to get the right ergonomics?

Yup. Still Alive and still plugging away at Woody - life has definitely got in the way of play hence the delay.

Anyway...

I have my 07 Silverado DBW pedal mounted to the original throttle pedal holes in the firewall and bent the pedal so it is now in the right plane - challenge is that the pedal is too high.

Now before I go all cave man, cut a wedge out of the pedal, bend and weld how have others created the ultimate throttle to brake pedal ratio?

Read the various threads and seen the awesome fabrication but:-

1. Dont want to spend $100 plus shipping for a bent bit of steel - not taking anything away from anybody but seems a tad expensive.
2. Dont really want to be welding close to the sensors as that seems like a great way to throw a code.

So, fellow cave men, how did you do it?

Edit Just found this which is probably cave man engineering at its best but seems to work!
