Installing UCP today, the dead pedal became totally unhinged.
Final J-B Welded-on nutsert broke free. I think that stuff doesn't like ABS plastic.
Regardless, it's MUCH easier to work/cut/drill than the thin sheet of stainless steel on the front of the footrest.\\Drilling these things was much harder than I anticipated. The SS cover is actually a sheet, not a foil. Couldn't find the cutting fluid in the rat's nest which is my garage at the moment. Used a touch of chain lube. Steel got red-hot before the bit finally broke through.

I don't have any nice-looking hardware yet, but had some acceptable stainless 1/4-20 bolts to affix it to the nutserts.



Holding great, but looks a little rough, to me.
