you can fix the clearance issue all you want...the problem still exists...the brake pedal is an issue and always will be no matter what kind of cover is in place, whether aluminum or Lexan, if it takes a hard enough hit, but aluminum bends and sometimes cracks, which can lead to a really bad oil leak as I found out...not fun when you're 20 miles from home and you just watched your oil pour out on the ground.
You have your reasons for liking aluminum, and I have my reasons for not.
I'll take my chances with the non-breakable Lexan, and make it home with a couple minor scratches. :-P

A friend of mine wore it in desert storm. And is made of titanium. And will stop multiple 7.62 hits
Foxx4Beaver:
