Hahaha, it’s clean now. The fix cost me $3 and and I do believe will outlast life of the car. I am not blaming the gas pedal design since it lasted 199k miles before breaking.

If I do not have to spend money on my current project car (190E 16V fuel pump), I would have just bought the part. I like the challenge of fixing it, making it better at the same time saving money.
