I posted this on the other forum with the rest of the details on installing my coyote gas pedal. When I was trying to decide on what to do for the pad I searched on here and didn't find a solution I liked. So I am posting it for just the pad because I figure some might want to do this little mod as well.
After I was happy with the location of my coyote gas pedal I wanted to do something for the pad to match the others. I don't know why Wilwood does not just sell a gas pedal pad... Anyway, so I had the idea of buying two of the clutch/brake pads and making my own. I got them for under $9 each on amazon (part # 330-11280). I cut off the last row of holes on each one. Sanded them down to get as close of an even seam as I could. Cleaned up the heat discoloration and added a grove at the joint to make it look like the rest of the pad. I also got some stainless star bit screws from Ace Hardware to match the other set (although they are a security star bit). Once I had the new pads all laid out on the pedal I had to trim the top right and bottom left corner of the pedal. The left was just for a cleaner look but the top right was to make sure the pedal didn't hit the right side of the footbox side wall. I have very happy with how it all turned out.

Looks great but make sure you can hit the brake without also pressing the gas. Recommend installing the inboard aluminum and mocking up with carpet. Offset pedal pad to right but make sure it does not get stuck in the carpet at full throttle.

I did check the clearance and it seemed OK. I will check again when everything is in its final place and then adjust if needed.
I actually bought your pedal kit but ended up doing this instead once I realize I didn't have to cut the arm.
I had the same thought as Mark, it may be very close to the aluminum, especially with carpet installed. I have the std FFR pedal and made new mounting holes to shift it away from the aluminum panel as it was very tight.
I also did not have room to easily get my foot between the brake pedal and the footbox side to get on and off the throttle without catching on the brake. Shifting the brake pedal pad to the left solved that problem but when I started driving it I would catch the brake pedal while pushing the clutch pedal in. I trimmed the left set of holes off the pedal pad and that solved it for good.
I will likely trim my clutch pad to match so I have more room to move my foot off to the left of it, dead pedal area.
FYI, I do have size 12s but wearing very skinny Vans shoes that are good for driving, not big clunky boots.

Reason: Typo
Another tip - shift the pads for the clutch and brake one hole over to add some space between the go pedal and the brake.

I will for sure pay attention to how they all work together with during final assembly and adjust as needed. I appreciate the tips and feedback.
I also, wear a size 12.
[QUOTE=CDXXVII;349215]Not a Coyote pedal but was also looking for something better than what came with the kit.
I made this setup for my mechanical linkage setup. It's actually a highly modified Russ Thompson pedal.
I saw something very similar and may have been yours. That was my plan and why I originally bought the Breeze pedal. Then I came up with this solution.
I made a few updates since I originally posted this. Basically just wanted more room to go right with my gas pedal. I cut more away from the base of the coyote pedal itself and trimmed up the Wilwood pad more to make sure I had total clearance. Part of this it because I expanded the right side of my footbox so wanted to be able to use that extra space with the pedal. With carpet mostly installed now I have checked clearance and the top right corner just barley touches the outer most fuzz of the carpet when fully depressed. I have also driven 20 plus miles in the neighborhood and like the additional spacing I have. Makes a size 12 shoe more manageable.
