Great thread! Don't know how I didn't see this before.

On the right, you will see the gas pedal spacer with the pedal limit spacer. Both broke eventually due to using PLA instead of ABS. So, that is one of the reasons you want to use ABS or PETG for this type of application. The bolts eventually started to spin inside the unit, and I had to pry it in half to remove it. Hell of of a lot cheaper than the Verus!

On the the left is a replica of the Perrin trunk handle done in PLU, works perfectly!
