Efi pedal looks exactly the same as the original pedal just with a different end to fit the efi throttle cable. Not that easy to source but someone's bound to have one lying about!

Even here is it pretty easy to find suitable pedal.
And i bet there in uk are couple more escorts.
I dont believe tie wrap "patents", get one which is proper. Or change it afterwards.
What scrappers said?
