Step 4Steal Ideas from Others
That's really the best way to go about at anything you do.
I looked at the hinge repair kits, which (at the time of publishing) you cannot buy separately from pedal repair, and I saw just how it works. They don't REPAIR the hinge, they REPLACE IT. They use a square of lexan to reinforce the pedal, to connect it to the heel rest, but it is also flexible, and not susceptible to flex-ware out.
Well crap! I have Lexan scraps lying around! They're called CDs! (note, CDs may not actually, chemically be lexan, but neither may be teh crap on ebay. the point is, they are GOOD ENOUGH.)
A real, burned CD has a lot more flexibility than a burned cd, so use an old AOL disc is you have one lying around. I used a demo for America's Army that I got at PAX last year (see, you should go, look how handy it will be).
You will want two CDs, just to be thorough. One should do the trick, but really, when are you ever going to listen to your Spin Doctors CD (the second one, not the album with "2 Princes") again?
Using a pair of scissors, cut them to basically the width of the heel of the drum pedal.
