My gas pedal flexes a good 1/4" when pressing it so I'm looking for a way to stiffen it up. Most of the flexing is coming from the gap between the pedal and the metal bracket. There is also some flexing of the metal bracket itself though. I tried this aluminum shim which helped but not enough. I might need to make an extra brace or bracket out of angle aluminum. I'm open to ideas if anybody has one.
There are several good ideas here:

I’m better at woodworking than metalworking, so I used half a 2x4, notched it to fit, painted it black to look like steel, and bolted it in. I had to chisel out a little under the pedal to get full depression, using old fashioned carbon paper to mark the spot. I’m pretty sure it’s stronger than I am.
