Revised pedal body because I kept breaking them after upgrading to die springs.

After upgrading to die springs I kept breaking the pedal body pieces. On the original I noticed some lifting at the front of the pedal under load which caused the middle of the body to try flex in to whatever is underneath (in my case a solid mounting board). I suspect this created all sorts of weird stress within the part.

Since the mounting tabs on the original are set a little back from the pivot point of the pedal I figured that shifting the tab forward would prevent that lever effect. As belt and braces to avoid any twist or bend mid-body I added a couple more mounting tabs.

To avoid a thin spot I removed the slot for the hall sensor arm. That means the current version can't be used for clutch or accel. If you'd like matching versions with the slot, let me know. Happy to add it (though it'll be untested).

I printed with 6 walls, top shell thickness 2mm, bottom shell thickness 2mm, infill 80%.

Please excuse the different colour; I ran out of black PETG (though I think the transparent is kinda cool 😅).
