Dave, you ARE amazing---everything on sale. Amazing. 
Question though:"The extinguisher bracket works on the driver's seat. It was designed to meet all the latest race sanuctions that state the driver must be able to reach it while "strapped in"."
It does work on the driver's seat? I've got the manual seat on a '96. Tell me it does and I'll feel great!
Thanks again, Dave!!!

The pedal arm is stamped steel not plastic, the pedal pad is a hard plastic on a hinged medal bracket.

Check these out and see if they qualify for the hooks you require.

And When the pulling hook is actually used, the front spoiler is destroyed.
Therefore, I want the pulling hook that can be actually used.

I would suggest you add something that can attach to the front of the frame crossmember.

'92 to '96 pedal mounts break just as often as '84 to '91. If you are referring to the metal angle that GM added to the mount, it did not solve the problem.
I have found the metal angle installed on several '90 and '91 cars as well as '92 and up.
Most of the guys that are racing the '92 and up cars are changing to the metal mount before they break in service. A few have told me that the mount was cracked when they removed it.
During the development I found found '84 through '87 cars with no cracks in the mount but with worn out pivot holes allowing the pedal to feel loose and sloppy under heavy foot driving.

OK, thanks! I have been racing mine for years and have never had a problem with it. I replaced the pedals with aluminum, but didn't realize there might be a problem with the mount itself.
I will do some more research on this and will probably end up picking it up.
