[Vwdiesel] pedal bracket A2

[David Cook]

It is amazing to me how many times I hear of the
clutch bracket breaking on the Cabriolet forums, and
how little I hear of it here.

Over there, a very common fix is to simply weld a very
large washer to the fire wall and essentially stop
using the bracket.  The washer replaces it.

A small amount of digging in the Cabriolet forums on
vwvortex.com should yield more details, though there
really isn't much more.
