After much research I have decided not to go with FT's excellent advice and use two bits of wood and a few nuts and bolts, instead I have gone for the Turtle Beach set. They are on sale at the moment and should be here on Monday, so all being well I will be in the air on Monday evening.
Ouch!
Have you checked the wiring? Aren't those pedals known for wires going bad?
(I dunno)
Get your self a bodnar board, some wood board and bolts and the soldering iron and go for it!
