Just buy a normal hinge at a hardware shop and screw it on.

That's what I've done; works great.

I put two (orange) roller blade wheels on the accelerator bracket to replace the pedal. It works like a charm, almost like the accelerator wheel of those old split/oval Beetles. The wheels roll under your foot when you step on the accelerator :wink:
