The right pedal is torqued across it's entire length when the pilot uses right rudder, highest loads with a tail wheel on the ground. My right pedal broke at the 90 degree weld just above the pilots foot at about the 500 hour point. Fortunately it broke on the ground right in front of Mark Langford's hangar when doing a pivot on one wheel turn-around. The material is thick enough but needs gussets at the 90 degree corners. I'm sure the pedals don't see the same level of flexing loads in a nose dragger. The left pedal has the cable attached at the pilots foot and is not subjected to the same loading as the right pedal but if wouldn't hurt to reinforce both if you're going to do one.
