I bought one of these grey gas pedals off eBay months ago. Just never installed it until a few weeks ago.

Today, while I was finishing off the rehab of the inspection plate today, I looked at the new pedal and noticed that it was visibly bent at about the point where the pedal bracket ends. It was straight when I put it on and I haven't really driven the car since. I have started it and I do give it full pedal to set the choke and squirt some fuel into the engine when I start it cold but that (bending) is ridiculous. Not sure what to do.

I've now updated the story in my Gas Pedal Rehab thread. The metal in the aftermarket pedal is much thinner and there is only one stiffening corrugation. The OE pedal used thicker metal and there are two corrugations to stiffen the pedal against bending.
