Pedal Plate Failure

Muddog

Got a 2010 IQ Precedent this week for our guest cottage.. The more I see of it the less I like it. All pot metal and plastic on an aluminum frame. The DS is a lot sturdier and better made cart.
Removed floor pad to install lights and found this:
Thinking I'll drill and tap 1/4 screw between where the 2 bolts where.
Any other suggestions ?

That's not Club Cars fault, it's where you live. Too much salt.

This cart came from up near Columbia. I doubt it's seen much salt.The only area where rust is an issue is under the mat. all the screw/bolt holes are recessed, when you spray your mat off, the water that gets behind mat
will find it's way to those recessed holes and pool on top the non stainless steel screws/bolts and rust them. There is no rust on any of my steering gear hardware.
My DS stays on the beach on the coast and you will find no rust on it

Drilled and tapped:

Fixed.
The plate failure was not caused by rust. It was caused by excessive pressure to brake pedal. The rust issue is with the non stainless steel hardware.
I would suggest to precedent owners to remove floor mat and clean under it every now and then.
