Maybe I can use a cad plated tool box spacer.

64474-40 tool box mounting spacer. The spacer's one inch thick.

More like it :!: The pedal's all the way back. You can barely see the
big spring's hook trying to back out of the foot board mount hole. The springs still connected, but it'll rattle around when I'm driving around.

I made a black mark when the plunger is at it's maximum pull, but I think the plunger needs to be pulled out to the max. or the
small spring will flop around loose when the pedal's pulled back to running mode.
I'll work with the
short brake rod some more.
I found a new parkerized pedal and bracket at V-Twin. It helped. My OE one had a jillion miles on it and there's no a bushing in the pedal you can replace. The shafts are peened and at any rate, the only repair to a sloppy action pedal is replacement.
