With the use of a reinforced clutch cover, the burden on the bracket, which functions as a fulcrum for the clutch pedal, increases, and there is some danger of the bracket bending or the spot welding coming loose during heavy clutch use, such as in competitive driving. The Reinforced Clutch Pedal Bracket adds additional welding to the standard clutch pedal bracket. Not only is the bracket reinforced but this gives the pedal a more rigid feel, which most people favor.
