Pedal stop plate on new pans?

Question

The floor pan installation is going smoothly except for the damn stop plate mounting on the new pans. It seems the location for the plate in the new pans (from Wolfsburg West) is farther forward than the old one. Because of this, I can't get it to stop the pedals from flipping forward, no matter how it's adjusted. It's not even close. Has anyone else had this problem with new pans? It's really frustrating to run into a new problem every five minutes while working on this thing.

It looks like I'll be doing the same thing. Ill be making a new stop plate that's roughly twice the length of the old one, hope it does the trick. As another side note about these "Wolfsburg West exclusive" pans, the driver side was about a 1/2" short. Enough that I had to fabricate a piece so it would reach the front mounting area. I made sure it's not the alignment, and measure it compared to the passenger pan. Almost a full 1/2" short. Wow, if WW pans look like this I dont want to even look at a pair of "cheap" ones.
