Have you ever replaced yours?
When I converted my car from the 727 to the 5 speed transmission in 2021, the swap kit from SST included a clutch and brake pedal setup.

It wasn't long afterwards that the pedal pads deformed a bit. The brake pad would fall off while driving so I took some gasket sealer to act as an adhesive to hold the pad in place.
That worked for awhile but for the past year, the brake pedal pad would only stay on for a short time.
I just ordered and received another pair of pads from PG Classics. It looks like they are curved a little more than the ones I had. The steel pads these rubber pads attach to have a curved shape. The rubber pads have flaps on the back that should in theory wrap around the steel pad. If they are not curved enough, the flaps pull away and the pad falls off.
I'm going to try these pads and report what I find out.
Mine were Year One pads from the early 2000s that I put on around 2016. I do remember them having some curve to them and going on pretty easily. They have stayed on since. I am also using the chrome trim on them which have metal tabs that bend over and hold everything together.
I'm told that the chrome trim seems to help them stay in place.
When I converted to the 5 speed in 2021, I pulled the stock A/T brake pedal and installed the clutch and brake pedal set. I still had the chrome trim on the gas pedal and parking brake pedal. It didn't bother me that the setup was mismatched until a guy online saw a picture I posted....

After the comment, it did look bad to me so instead of getting the trim pieces to go around the clutch and brake pedal, I just removed the trim from the gas pedal and parking brake pedal pads.
I've seen pictures of stock cars/NASCAR where the pads were riveted to the pedals. That's been my plan but I haven't gotten around to it
