maybe depending on how arm it gets the rubber. Or I read a bucket of real hot water, sit it in water for a while and it becomes real flexible

Ok got the E brake pedal installed. The pedal is the correct dimensions but curved on the wrong side. So I modded it, I gently removed the curve from it by using a wooden dowl and small hammer. I then modded the rubber slightly on the back of the pedal to allow it to slide over the durango's pedal surface. I then mixed up some 2 part epoxy and applied it to the rear of the pedal pad. After letting it tack up a bit I reinstalled the pedal pad and lined it up. I used a spring loaded clamp to apply pressure to the pad and metal arm evenly to allow the epoxy to cure completely without chance of movement.
After a few hrs I checked the pad and it is set up well. I reapplied the clamp for the remainder of the day today and will remove it tomorrow. Its should work well.
