Option B-Foot Pad

Option B -- Rounded Corners on 4 Faces

In Option B the joint between the pedal bar and the foot pad was redesigned with large tapered transition flanges on the two long sides, as well as smaller radii on the front and back edges.

These features will smooth the transition from the pedal bar into the foot pad and prevent isolation of the "hot zone", as well as providing for smoother metal flow into the foot pad.

Option B is the right design choice.
Go to the next design step-- metal flow control!
