Thoughts Welcome on some aluminium pedals for a car??

Pedals must be non-slip for the MOT test (I can't remember the exact wording).

Personally, I wouldn't touch anything to do with pedals, purely due to liability. I've seen the result of a pedal failure (the weld failed due to a manufacturing defect), and no stone gets left unturned in establishing if anybody had tampered with it.

'The anti-slip provision on the brake pedal pad is missing, incomplete, loose or worn smooth'

Well, I did suspect from the start that pedals are critical and may result in rejection and prohibition from driving if it is noticed during a regular inspection and if the modification is not done right. You found the right document and the correct wording. I think there are other issues as well, the height of the pedal may be critical also because when you make it higher the angle of the foot changes also. I don't know if this is critical, but it definitely effects the driving comfort, so I would not add anything which significantly changes the angle. A thin sheet may be OK, but nothing thicker. The other thing is that if there is a screw going through than in case your foot is under the brake pedal than it can get stuck and you may not be able to brake in time in case something happens. Too long screws may also prevent the pedals to be pushed deep enough for an OK. Modifying cars is a tricky business, not everyone cares but if it is found out it can be expensive for the owner.
