Rear brake affected by engine bars

[cfoley]

I just fitted Rentec engine bars to my bike. All went smoothly except one of the bolts is holding the rear break pedal down. I can force it over the bolt but it won't go there naturally. In the pic below, left is the pedal resting on the bolt. Right is it forced up into its correct position. Any ideas on how to fix it? I've considered bending the pedal, filing away the bolt and adjusting the height of the break. None of these options sound great so I'm open to ideas.





Here are some pics of the newly-fitted bars!
