Oh ok I didn't realise the pedals didn't need to be touch sensitive, even
simpler then!

Alternatively use another input method to a PC (you can get multiple digital
input to USB boards) and then generate the MIDI signals in software.

The pedals are not going to be taking massive forces so you don't need to
worry about using bearings or anything fancy like that. I would just put a
hole through the pedal at the back and let it rotate on a bolt that is
secured to some base-plate. That way you can place each pedal at a
different angle. To provide the resistance just glue on a lump of stiff
rubber underneath each pedal and mount a micro-switch to trigger at the
correct position. Shouldn't take too much work.
