    Hopefully you can see from the attached photo that the pedal trapwork hits the casework.  I am guessing this is Not "factory" , but the aluminum tube has been bent at some time inthe past.  Has anyone else run into this? Is it safe to try and bend the tube back?  The connecting bolt <seems> to be vertical, which may be why someone bent the tube in the 1st place, to get it lined up with the hole in the pedal.  Suggestions? Experiences? Warnings?  Thanks.

    I believe this is the way it's supposed to be. It's bent to get around the soft pedal; bolt and get away from the plate. If it's working, leave it alone.
