Gen 2 cracked clutch pedal

Welp, this has happened to me as well. For all of you guys that have replaced the cracked pedal, have you done any reinforcement in that area? I don't have a particularly heavy clutch, but mine is almost completely cracked through at this point. I'm thinking about welding a little support onto it or something to hopefully keep me from having to do this job twice.
I have read that minor reinforcement is good but not too stiffen too much as it can actually cause the firewall to give instead of the pedal which would be much worse.
I agree, it is for sure an odd problem. I haven’t ran into this issue yet but also haven’t upgraded to a 6 puck yet. When I do I just hope it stays together so I don’t have to deal with it honestly!
Got a new pedal and welded a nice little support on it.
This sumbitch ain't breaking again. I haven't been able to find any Speed3s that've had firewall cracking issues. Seems to be a 6 thing, so I'm not going to bother with anything besides this support. I'll follow up on whether or not that was a good decision.

Yep. Usually cracks right around the bend there, so we just added a support to the whole thing.
I guess awd comes with its pros and cons in this situation lol

Hey where did you get this? I have same problem now. How much did it cost you? Thanks alot.What's up guys, so the last few nights I have been having a hard time starting my car. I really have to press the clutch pedal to get it to engage the safety switch. Then this morning I get no start at all no matter how hard I press. After some inspection looks like the bracket that holds the safety switch to the clutch assembly is starting to shear (see pics). This is allowing the bracket to flex and not fully be depressed by the clutch pedal. I have a Southbend stage 3 endurance for 50k+ and the car/clutch drive fine other than starting the car.
For now I am able to start the car by reaching under the dash and pressing the switch with my hands. I've seen all the threads of cracking pedals happening to the speed 6s but closer to the firewall and never a gen 2. Anyone have any tips or experienced this themselves.
Thanks

Did you not fully read the thread? He said edgeautosport hooked him up with a replacement and he even made a how to thread which was linked.

You just need the right tools, 24 inch long socket extension is a must. There's an upper 12mm bolt that's very hard to remove. It cost me $30 to get it welded at a shop. That's including reenforcing it.
Take the whole assembly off. Then weld it. Cheaper that way.
