we did one ourselves for Micks HQ Dave, we just got a bracket to mount to the pedal from California Speed Supplies and cut to suit..
i assume this is for your buggy so would be a cheaper way of doing it and you wouldnt need a bling bracket for the pedal like we used either..

You cannot use electrical solder to make cables, you need industial solder for a stronger joint, especally on motorcycle brake and clutch cables.
