I cannot find it at any of the usual suppliers eg sip. Note the unique position of the switch and the winged extension on the left top side of the pedal. Looks factory fitted. Any ideas?

But I have no idea what a replacement would be for it. Btw: wassup with the welding on the seam?

There's one in this Flickr photo set. Says it's a '61.

I wonder if you could source an old non-GS pedal (to improve odds of metallurgic compatibility) and find an experienced welder to splice them?

Disclaimer: This may be hooey; I haven't handled an older Vespa brake pedal in a long time.

EDIT: Bar Italia has a gallery of a '58 model and it shows the same pedal.

Maybe reach out to them? They do comprehensive restos and might either have or know where to find the right part.

My 59 Allstate has the same one you're looking for and my 62 Allstate has the one posted from SIP.
