Rick,
If you’re concerned with the pitting of your original pedal, I believe you can take steps to to repair or conceal the pitting.
I had an issue with pitting on a coolant system connection and used JB weld to fill in the pitting. It worked great! On the downside, if the pedal is a plated finish, I don’t believe plating will take to JB Weld. There are probably other materials that could be used that would work with plating though. Just a thought.
Here’s a link to my coolant pipe corrosion repair -
