Solutions for pedal extensions?

Does anyone know a better solution for swappable pedal extensions? I'm currently using a homemade setup with 2 set screws and they rotate on the pedal under hard usage. This also tears up the pedal.

I've heard someone makes a more triangulated setup. Same idea, but with an additional bar to the bottom side of the pedal. But I've been unable to find them for sale anywhere, or even pictures or plans so I could make my own.

Any help appreciated! Thanx!

I made a pair for my wife that were quite easy to fabricate. First we put some fuel line or heaterhose over the existing pedals for a base. then cut a four inch section of one inch steel tubing in half lengthwise. Get some 1/4 inch steel rod from the hardware store.. we cut 2 twelve inch sections and bent them 90 degrees at the four inch and eight inch point.. we welded this to the half section of tubing along with a small additional section on the side to hold position...........they attach in 30 sec with tie wraps when my wife drives and come right off when we switch..........I know it sounds complicated but it took about 15 min to build.....call 281-337-1841 and i can fax you a drawing .... drive fast....dave
