I did not want to remove the carpet or do any cutting and welding mainly because I have zero welding skills. I basically created a new top attachment point using the existing one.
So I used a flat metal mending plate about 1/16 inch thick from Home Depot and drilled two of the holes a bit larger, I then attached it to the existing gas pedal bracket hole with a 35mm long bolt and spacer and used the upper hole to attach the drive by wire plastic bracket with a nut and bolt.
I also had to bend the metal plate a little to get the get angle as close as possible and to allow for some space between the bracket and the carpet to insert a wrench to hold the nut so I can tighten the top bolt. I can probably fabricate a better metal bracket but this what l had available to try this out.
The result is what you see in the pictures.
