Seeing as how the Audi pedal has a metal arm, it follows that it can be modified. A colleague at work does a bit of welding so I asked for help. He had a great idea that I should place it in position and make some V cuts then bend it to how I wanted it. He would then do some fillet welds to fill the V cuts. I didn't quite do what he asked (V cuts too small) but I made it fit perfectly and he expanded my tight little cuts and welded it up. I even got a free paint job (thanks Jens).
Here it is roughly in place with one bolt holding it that I drilled for the bonnet release cable which now has no home - (next problem).
Another perspective. You can just see the rejected VW pedal in the right foreground. I would prefer the accelerator pedal being closer to the floor than the brake pedal and I might do a little better than shown if I forgo some pedal travel, but it's pretty close.
Now to figure out how to secure the bottom when I don't have access to the other side of the panel (twin panels on mudguard), and to devise a new position for the bonnet release (see just above old accelerator in the previous post).
