That looks great Freebird... but I guess I was thinking of returning to stock if I ever sold... or rather if someone else ever sold 'cause I ain't gonna!
Also... if you have any pictures of your solution to the revised e-brake install, I would love to see those. Mine work-around is functional, but not necessary the best looking...

You could still use the epoxy putty and remove it later on if you desire to return to the stock pedals (rubber pad). You could use a drill bit and drill in a few areas of the putty and it should crack into several pieces, then you can use a flat head to dig the putty pieces out. Then re-install stock rubber brake pad or just leave the putty in the pedal and re-install the stock rubber brake pad over the epoxy putty.

I don't have any pictures GTL. I need to take some more interior pics of the Bee anyways.
But all I did was take a piece of stainless steel that was a bit thinner than the after market e-brake pedal. The stainless is only used to drill through to mount the e-brake pedal and to tack weld to the stock metal e-brake plate. Cut the stainless the same size as the e-brake pedal. Then roll the stainless to fit the curvature of the e-brake pedal. Mount the pedals bolts to the stainless piece.
Below is your picture of the stock e-brake plate. I held the mounted e-brake and stainless piece (now bolted together) over the stock e-brake plate. And marked (scratched) the stock e-brake plate with the backs of the bolts. Your upper left pilot hole in the picture below. I drilled out that hole big enough to get the backside nut that is attached to the e-brake pedal and stainless piece, so it would fit through the hole. I also drilled that hole big enough to allow the lower right boltand nut to slip past the right side of the stock e-brake plate. Then I lined up the e-brake plate and my buddy tack welded the piece to the stock e-brake pedal. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the explanation, but I'm still not sure I comprehend just what you did. If you ever decided to take those pictures, however you choose to do so... that would be great.
